Bulbo dearei....How to grow them properly?

[Tanya]

Tanya, what is that you've used to tie it up? Looks like ribbon?

You can call it that, if you like. But its really a type of string. Its very common here, sold in big rolls and in different colors. I don't know that they are called in english, but it look like plastic string to me.

I think it's called raffia... it's made from a plant, a palm tree... or something like that...

and I want a Bulbo dearei, but I'm gonna be good.. no more buying of orchids for awhile.. until spring maybe...

Cheers

Too bad I can't send you 2 of the pbs, Tim.

Thanks Tanya, that's a really sweet thought, i do appreciate it. But yes, CITES and all that other Quarantine stuff makes it a little prohibitive... aaah well, it's a good way for me to be good and ensure that the ones I have do a little better with extra loving care...

Good luck with the dear-ie.... (yes the alcohol in the coffee is starting to work)
