Two nice plants. I find bulbos to be very good companions for my paphs and grow a number of them in hanging baskets above my paph benches. Some have become quite large plants now. Good luck with these.

Thank you, I'm going to mount them on redwood tomorrow hopefully, any suggestions?

Nice blepharistes, love the long spike on small plant! Jeff has great orchids, I've never been unhappy with anything from him; insituorchids (formerly cgaxquai) on ebay if anyone's curious.
What kind of mounting suggestions are you looking for? When I mount bulbos I usually put a little live moss against the wood, plant over that, then a small pad of sphagnum and some long coconut fibers on top of it all. On the other hand, I've killed almost 75% of my once-extensive bulbophyllum collection over the last few years so maybe you shouldn't follow my advice...

Cool nights warm days for most should be ok, that blepharistes was a piece of a show plant I took pics of in another thread it broke off lol..

Coconut fibers hold salts bulbos are very sensitive to salts, gotta wash it out very well and keep humidity up
