Awesome list...and so many bulbos! How do you keep them from scrambling everywhere? I just caved and got a bulb. lobbii today..I just know it's asking for trouble, but I couldn't help myself.
What size terrariums are those - how many gallons?

I don't know about the number of gallons, but i could try to estimate them... anyway, i think they are measuring about 3' x 1.5' x 1', but it is not an accurate estimation... Yeah i had a little 'weakness' for bulbos! Most doesn't scramble to much for now and are easy to contain, easy to grow and flower, so i wont complain i have a few extra if you're interested (Bulb ambrosia, Bulb elizabeth ann x putidum)

Tom, you should try www.rareexotics.com for the mini orchids. He has really cool stuff. Make sure after you look in the succulent and caudiciforms after for the really bizarre ones. Rob

Good job Tom! Were those the B. guehoi, and if so, what were your soil mix/germination conditions. I wanted to sow some of those today, and I'll gladly take growing tips from one of the masters.

they are B. guehoi, rorida and filifolia. They were soaked 24h in the GA3 solution sent with the seeds and sown in a 1:1 peat:sand (coarse silica in this case), under fluorescent (16:8) in a tray with 1-2 cm of water in it. First sign of germination after about 2 weeks i think (dont remeber well the date of sowing)
Oddly enough, only the B. liniflora haven't shown any sign of germination so far

Did you say you had some Roridula germinate for you...R. dentata. Wow, good job! Did you heat treat yours, or only use the GA3 soak and the bright lights? Here's a link I've kept for Roridula germination: www.drosophyllum.com/english/e-roridula.htmKeep us updated with that one, please! ;D

Well that is still a very nice accomplishment. Those are definitely new to cultivation and will not be found in too many collections, at all. Good luck with all of them, may they flower profusely and set lots of seed for you.
Do you know if those Byblis species hybridize?

i am not aware of this neither saw it listed elsewhere. As a quick reference, i looked up the CP photo finder, and under the Byblis cultivars and hybrids, you only have cultivars listed: www.cpphotofinder.com/Byblis.htmlBut im not anywhere near a pro in Byblis genetics and about the accomplishment, germination is one thing, growing them/maintaining them is another. B. filifolia is particularly sensible to damp off, so i try to keep it a little drier, just in case and i just learn that Byblis is also a metal band lol www.byblismetal.com/
