Den. dearei isnt all that rare. Mine isnt too happy after being repotted, Ill look tomorrow.

Quite jealous you found the rarer 3. I have a 'Zuma Canyon' division, macrobulbon and fletcherianum. Ive heard different things Carolina Orchids concerning identifications, but that drive for some sort of completion is difficult to shake.

It (B cruentum) arrived in the mail today, delayed by bad weather, definitely a nice plant. Also got a B sigaldii in spike with an umbrell of strong flowers in the process of opening. That plant had a number of synonyms like B vietnamense, B dalatense and all of the above repeated under Cirrhopetalum but Garey recently pulled it all together and now it is only known as B sigaldii. Apparently smells to high heaven, I can't wait for it to open so I can take it to my daughter's home for decoration.

I have bought from Carolina Orchids before and always was very pleased. I consider them one of the better sources of hard to find Bulbos.

My husband just got back from Tom's on Wednesday and yes, a few more bulbo followed him home. Enjoy your stinky family, I prefer the fragrant, as in nice, type.

Brooke, your husband is a lucky man to be envied. Living close enough to Tom to actually visit.

It's an acquired taste, in the nose of the beholder. I don't get to enjoy my 'nice' orchids very much, when in bloom, my daughters haul them off to decorate their homes. The Pleuros, Stelis, Bulbos etc, are safe from these pirates.

Nick

Nick I guess that makes me lucky too since I live with my husband.

Brooke

I have no doubt you both can be considered lucky. Pardon my earlier sarcasm.

Nick

Nick, a Google search turned up a few den. dearii. Apparently they're out there~~
