Thanks, Elaine. I've got other Bulbos coming. Bulbos can be so exotic looking. That has spurred a huge interest in Bulbo hybridizing. My interest is mostly species and some of the primary hybrids. That's not to say I'm a snob about it. There are incredible hybrids out there. I've got one coming into bloom now.

This one's for Ted. It's Platystele orteziana http://www.orchidspecies.com/platortiziana.htm That's probably a better photo than I'll ever get. Mine is from a grower in Ecuador. It's in a two inch pot and you can see it's swimming. There are something like five miniscule spikes on it. Too bad orchids aren't sold by the pound. That's a twenty dollar plant.
