    It is way too small to do anything now, Zach. If it grows, we might be able to work something out.

    I did find a surviving piece of B quadrichaete in the greenhouse. At least that is what it is labeled. I've had it for a few years, but it isn't thriving. I am growing it intermediate, mounted, daily water moderate light. I tried one potted and warmer, it died. I would love to hear a success story.

    I've seen quite few PNG Bulbophyllums in some great UK collection, well nearly swimming...

    It was very wet there on trays with life moss

    Piotr, unfortunately that culture can't be for all species from PNG. I am asking for specific, first-hand culture info for this Bulbo. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Tom I have the flora malaesiana cd rom for bulbophyllum and I can look on there for some info. I believe I have seen a pic of it in-situ and it appears to be growing fairly exposed on a moss covered branch.

    Is it found in Mlaysia also? Yes, I would like to hear what you can find.
