I finally got a Bulb wedlandii to bloom after 9-10 years? Must be something
to this watering/feeding thing. Only bloomed for me once before, with only one flower (iirc). This time there's 3. I'll get a pic for abpo tomorrow (when its light outside, *G*) K Barrett |

Anyone have one which blooms more readily and if so, any tips? |

In about ten years it never bloomed so I gave it to someone else. Now it produces flowers every year! It is in a cold damp wash-room.

I can't remember the orchid he was referring to, probably Den. Aggregatum, but one of the guys at Orchid Trail was saying "They won't bloom if they're always happy with their conditions. Make them a little unhappy after they've been happy a while and they bloom." I wonder if the same applies. -- Chris Dukes elfick willg: you can't use dell to beat people, it wouldn't stand up to the strain... much like attacking a tank with a wiffle bat |
