I have a number of bulbo's. They bloom well for me, especially -Bulb.
makoyanum- which is still putting out flower spikes after starting to
bloom in June.


Funny, I just bought one on ebay yesterday ($12 w/shipping).

You'll like it. It grows vigorously and blooms profusely for me. The
blooms have a faint 'musty' odor to my nose.

Like many Bulbo.'s, it eventually starts to 'crawl' out of a pot, so
slab mounting is probably best.

That's good to hear as we are 95% mounts.
