My favorite species of these "creatures"
I like the heavier spotted "cuppier" one at the bottom best.

Those are really nice! I like the bottom one too.
Is there any trick to get these to bloom?

Thanks, I'll ramp it up some. I thought I was burning it before so I pulled it back, but I think maybe it was just drying out too much before I mounted it.

I like them both quite a lot. Just have one bulbo here now...but could sure see adding more. Do people have general success NOT growing bulbos in a greenhouse?

So different! I love them both, but the 'tall' one is my favorite of the two.
Cheers,

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

Jenny, I grew some prior to having access to a greenhouse but they do like it humid. I grew them in a light cart that was enclosed in a plastic covering
