New World Bulbophyllums?
I would like to add New World Bulbos to my collection, but have been having trouble finding them. Ecuagenera lists three species I am interested (exaltatum, steyermarki, wedellii), but as out of stock. I am going to email the Andy's and a few others to see if they have anything in the back they are not listing. Also interested in jamaicense and the more common pachyrachis. Any advice, help, suggestions? If you collect New World Bulbos, can you share your experiences?
Thanks in advance.

Check seattle orchids I know they order from ecuagenera and make sure that they will settle them before sending them.

I have 30 species, 4 hybrids and 8 NOIDs. Only two of the dozen that flowered this year smelled nice. The others were somewhere between moldy socks, stale fart and dog poop. I love them nevertheless.

I smelled a B. phalaenopsis for the first time this weekend. Reminded me of when we were kids and would find a dead opossum on the side of the road. All swollen and with maggots in the eye sockets.
Love stinky Bulbos 
Do you by any chance grow B. echinolabium? Any luck with it? If so, please share your growing conditions, pretty please with decaying rat guts on top

My echinolabium is new to the collection and hasn't flowered yet. The carunculatum had only me and the dog as friends. I spent a couple of hours in the backyard watching flies land and whirl around the Cirr. fascinator.
Love them stinky. Of course, I am also the guy who chased durian fruit across SE Asia last year. Yum.
I live in S FL and most of my Bulbos are outside except the exiguum which has turned out to the most temperamental Bulbo of them all. It does like it cool/intermediate.

This has me worried now, as I have just purchased one of these and have it growing in my home office. I am not sure how old it is, or if it will bloom for me within the next year... But now, I am afraid. |
