I love it as a medium. 10 parts washed large or medium perlite to 1 part
good quality sifted peat.

I pot the plants and then apply a light layer of gravel over the top to stop
any perlite washing out, and coz I think it looks good

Thanks, Dave & Kye. I keep the few Bulbos that we have either mounted or
in a mix based on CHC. I might want to try the peat/perlite.

Diana, I'm pretty sure Kye is right. Peat & perlite is a fairly popular
medium
over here.

It *is* quiet around here. Summer in the States! Thanks for posting
these,
Dave. What is this plant potted in, do you know?

Things seem very quiet on abpo, so here are three pics from a show I
went
to a
few weeks ago. I had a really bad run with label photos - there was
some
sort
of subsequent id problem with all three.

This first one, as you can see, was apparently labelled Bulb. Lanium.
Neither
Orchid Wiz nor the RHS site lists anything like that name.
Suggestions?
