Bulbo sprucei

[Ron-NY]

This Bulbo was in another Bulbo growers collection and he wasn't able to get it to bloom. I only purchased it off of him this past April, so I hate to claim the blooming rights. I had checked with him regarding his culture and he noted he tried many different cultures. The only thing I saw that he didn't do was run it dry. So, I decided to try that and voila...12 spikes so far. I think the flowers may open more and if they do I will update this post.

Very interesting. Too bad for me about the no-bulb thing.

Wow - congrats! That's a great looking plant.

Does the "run it dry" concept apply to this particular species alone, or bulbos in general?
