why can't you keep them alive if i can in the middle of the third driest place on earth i would think you could to just bring them inside the house they don't need much light just a bit more then a phial i will confess i use moss to keep them damp most people in wetter climates would have no success using that Medea as its to wet i often use things that are quite a bit out side then normal type of Medea for obvious reasons

yes i have to say the Bulbophyllum is one of my favorites she blooms 4 times a year for me she has 4 new bulbs on her so I'm probably going to get as many as 8 flower clusters this time around but i think after that all have to divide her shes out grown here pot by over a year i just wanted to see how much flower power i could get
