    I'll check with the owner, Blaine Maynor of orchids for the people. If it's still in bloom it will be at the Pacific orchid exposition.

    Bill, do you know if this clone blooms on and off year round or just one big flush per year?
    I hear this species can bloom year round but I don't know if that is true. Mine seems to bloom just once a year.

    Wait, Are you saying Dinema polybulbon and Encyclia polybulbon aren't synonyms? I had thought they were the same thing. If they are synonyms, does anyone know which is the more current correct name?

    To me, it doesn't matter what you call it, as long as everyone understands what you are talking about. I still call it Encyclia polybulbon in conversation. But, once you start getting into awards, and scientific publications, and genetics, then people start splitting hairs (or creating dreadlocks).

    Hi guys. Resurrecting a dead thread to say that I picked up a piece of this on Sunday at Orchids for the People's orchid and Tilly mounting workshop; literally, as it had fallen off the ginormous mother plant. I stuck it next to my freshly mounted Schoenorchis gemmata in the hopes that it'll take. There were six of us at the workshop, and they took us on a quick tour of the greenhouse first. Let me tell you, we about watered the plants with all the drooling going on. There was lots of pointing and 'look at that!' and 'oooh!' and 'oh, look at that one!' It's a nice greenhouse, stuffed to the rafters with orchids, and a bunch of Tillys too! I bought a T. velutina clump for a ridiculous $5. Sweet!

    Due to my severely limited space I was able to not buy one of everything, but it was close. We all had a blast, and learned a lot. I'll see about posting some pics of the orchids I mounted when I'm sure they're not going to up and die. I used KellyW's (?) method of using terra cotta saucers, and so far so good.

    Not my method. I just didn't want to get the credit for something that wasn't mine. :) I don't use this method but I suspect it works well is many conditions.

    In another post you talked about drilling terracotta. When thoroughly saturated you don't even need a drill. I have bored holes with a screwdriver and heavy wire, etc. Some of the tiny terracotta pots have tiny drain holes that are easily plugged so I use a screwdriver to enlarge those.

    Yikes! You're right, sorry. It wasn't even on this forum, it was here.

    Very nice and in proportion to the greenhouse it is in it seems. I also have that plant and it is in ratio to my 6 square meter greenhouse lol

    Well, they're still alive, and the Dinema is taking off, like off the saucer. From l to r, Barb. dusenii, Dinema, Schoenorchis Gemmata, and at the tippy top is a cluster of seedling Tillandsias. All on a 4" saucer.
