Bulbo lasiochilum dark form

[Rick]

This plant has been growing well and got some good photos this time.





I have the yellow form blooming now too, but I think the dark form is prettier.

You have some really interesting bulbos Rick!

Totally weird!
That growth habit would drive me NUTS!!! I like my orchids to grow in an orderly fashion.
Looks like this one has really taken to your basket culture!

Yes, a lot are real ramblers.

I've pretty much always kept Bulbos mounted or in baskets, and the few Bulbo failures I've had were always for potted Bulbos. The Bulbo basket success correlation was what got me to try it for Paphs. Which ultimately started the low K thing. The Bulbos were much more responsive to fert overdose, and anything to reduce exposure made a difference that you could see in less than a year.
