Bulbophyllum dentiferum

Okay, so this repotting was kind of spur of the moment. I was just in my little piece of paradise, and I picked up this 'chid and took it to my 'repotting station,' that is, the kitchen counter. This is another one from Cloud's that I suspected was two separate plants, and my suspicions were correct, so I didn't do any dividing. This Bulbo is definitely a shallow rooter, so it is best to either grow it in a shallow pan, or in the case of the one I am going to trade, the one in the brown pot, fill a good portion with styrofoam peanuts.

   This is one of the twelve 'chids I bought at one time from Cloud's Orchids. It has almost finished the two new growths it had when I got it, so I hope it blooms this winter, which is when I think it is supposed to bloom. It is the most rambly Bulbo I got, with up to 5'' between some of the p'bulbs. I would really love to mount this, but I would have to make a hardware cloth tube mount for it. Maybe in the spring!
