| Bulbophyllum Hi all.  I'm considering buying a Bulbophyllum, either ambrosia or lasiochilum. Anyone out there growing these? Anybody here who can help me with deciding which one would better fit my growing conditions here in Fla.? I'm growing semi outdoors, on a screened patio with eastern light and a little west light in summers.Thanks!      |

| GO FOR IT!! I really like my Bulbo. Blooming it's head off right now. Bulb. ambrosia is a really pretty little flower (I like it better than the lasiochilum). Both should do well for you. They don't need much light - definitely no direct light. They will love your temps! Now did you really think I was going to say 'NO DON'T DO IT!' ???? LOL |

| Vivienne, thanks for the vote. I had a feeling it would be a good grower for my conditions from everything I keep reading. I think I'm going to buy both of them, what the hey! If you've got any pics of yours hanging around and wouldn't mind?....  |

| I like it too! Is the culture difficult? I live in Washington, any culture advise?

| Likes it intermediate to warm, so no chills  Part from that, likes to be kept moist, bit drier in winter, when it flowers. A mix of bark and spag does it well, bit of a rambler, so may want a mount of a basket of some sort. |

| I speak of one with a really rotten, putrid smell ... Nay, a malicious vile odor! A positively foul rancid scent!
