the beauty of nature
hey guys,
i posted this also in another orchid forum, but i thought that i'd also post it here. i'm looking into bulbos.
what are some bulbophyllum species/hybrids that:
(1) appear not to have any rhizome; not leggy--the kind the pseudobulbs tend to all clump (eg. bulbo. echiolabium)
(2) windowsill growing possible, i do currently grow under lights.
(3) the lack of an extreme scent--can't really have something stink up my bedside garden
(4) doesn't grow huge--per pseudobulb basis.
i really like ones that are star shaped--like lobbii, dearei, sulawesii, and sumatranum. but i am not sure if these could be brought into bloom... or even if they could survive the windowsill... any bulbophyllum lovers care to chip in your $0.02? thanks
i currently have 1 cirrhopetalum lepidum and is growing 2 new leads--the one lead last year didn't make it for some reason... just turned black and died =( is that a rot issue or a lack of humidity issue?
this is it from last year, can't take credit for spiking it --at least i don't think so... i bought in bloom, but this second flowering came about a month after the original bloom faded...
