Thecopus maingayi -- Is This A Bulbo?

[NiNiDazzle]

I bought this Thecopus maingayi back in September. It looks happy under my care, but I have no idea what it is. I tried Baker & Baker but they do not have a culture sheet on it.

Any culture info on this little one would be appreciated.

This is the first time I've come across this genus so I had to look it up...
SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Cymbidieae SUBTRIBE Thecostelinae

I note that this species has some synonyms listed under the genus Thecostele so you might want to look at cultural requirements for Thecostele.

That's why I bought it without knowing any culture information. Very pretty and it was only $8.
