bellatulum and friends......

[Potterychef]

Hello all, I know its been awhile since I posted any photos. Here is a nice bellatulum with a good story.....it was a small, abused, single growth plant with scale and mealy bugs alot of years ago after my divorce, but I managed to save it and it hung on and has grown well, must be 7-8 growths this year and two flowers.

The next is S.Gratrix

And finally a new first bloom seedling from Nick....bellatulum x Steele Magnolia

Enjoy everyone! Regards, Doug

How rewarding that must be for you, Doug. They are really lovely plants.

I have found growing orchids to be a great comfort to me after I got sick and landed in a wheelchair. I think caring for something else is healing.

Great shots! Any tips for growing bellatulum? I have always had trouble with this one.

Alright, alright, I admit it, I'm down that road already. But I hate to say it but it's probable only because I've not had time to kill enough of them yet.
