@Bill: re cultural requiremens of bellatulum; bellatulum occurs in the same limestone areas as the niveum and concolor, where there is an abundance of light,high temp. In your growing medium the addition of limestone chips or crushed egg-shells/weathered coral/crushed sea-shells will do wonders for the health of the plant.I have seen conco-bellatulum (a natural hybrid between concolor and bellatulum) in a friend's collection which he had collected from the wild from one of the islands in Thailand.It was very pretty, with the yellow of concolor and the fuller shape of bellatulum. Sorry no photo of it at the moment.

Love the white with black spots. Ours blooms more yellow and slowly fades to a white color. Fun paph!

Cheers,
