The second photo is excellent. You've got some great blooms.

Wow! Very uncommon here. THanx for posting.

Very uncommon here.

Too bad, Trias are easy grower.

 

[Erythrone]

Easy grower, Ricky (another plant I should try to grow...)

I don't find informations about cultivation in OW. How to you grow it? Intermediate, medium light?

How to you grow it? Intermediate, medium light?

I grow it warm (20-30°C), medium light, watering 1-2 times a day (like a Bulbo).

I have a friend in Asia right now and hopefully he'll bring some to USA.

I wondered if it was related to Bulbos. Is there any fragrance?

No fragance and yes, it is related to Bulbos:

"SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Podochileae SUBTRIBE Bulbophyllinae.
Similar to the genus Bulbophyllum but with floral differences, this genus has 13 rarely seen epiphytic species, that have similar cultural requirements to Bulbophyllum. The flowers in this genus always have a triangular appearance and are on a short basal inflorescence. The distiction between this genus and Bulbophyllum is a two-chambered anther with a forward projecting prolongation that can be cylindric or divided into two to three parts." (Jay Pfahl)

Thanks, Ricky.

I think Andy's still has this one on his price list (where I got mine).

Very fast growing as Ricky says.

I saw a flask the other day with this species crossed to Bulbophyllum sumatranum. Interesting combo.

Nice plant and good growing

This is the largest flower of the genus too. Maybe pushing 4cm. Most of the others are very small in comparison.

Hmmm...so it will be first in the trias list....

Yup, originally I was more interested in T. picta because of the red color, but I think its more typical of the rest of the Trias group with flowers of about 1-2cm

I think T picta is somewhat easier to obtain than disciflora, but I've not seen more than three of this genus available.
