Oops, I thought that they were his fingers.
My bad.

Btw, can anyone tell me the difference between appendiculatum, putidum and ornatissimum? all of them look very similar to me. all i can see is that appendiculatum has a very short rhizome between p'bulbs and is a small plant...

I had to go back and look again. They do look like fancy earings.

 

[Corbin]

I really like it because it is different. What kind of culture does it require and how big is the plant?

Corbin, thanks for liking it... =D soon you may become addicted to bulbos just like me cos they're so different from one another... Bulbo appendiculatum is a mini plant.the whole plant (bulbs + leaves) is barely 2 inches high. But it can bear flowers 3 inches in length..! I grow it mounted, in shade and kept evenly moist..

paphioboy,

What kind of temperatures? Sounds like the size I need for my limited space.
