Mosses & Lichen Growing with Orchids

Yes it IS possible and i seem to have gotten it off to a 'T' despite being neglected from time to time due to other commitments.

My Bulbophyllum echinolabium still sits there in the Moss Garden, or one of the Moss Gardens! Hopefully that will develop roots and become a new plant while accidentally breaking it of the main plant, with that being only its third bulb and first one since I had it hence may self hatred after doing it, resulted in the main plant going a bit mad. It then produced not ONE but TWO new bulbs after that so is now a four bulb plant and if this one produces roots and another bulb I would have almost trebled the quantity I have of this species?!

LMAO!!

Stunning colour and changed from the dirty orange colour it was.

Picture above is the typical lichen green, like a light mint green.

Now that these have loved and grown I must collect more and go on a little excursion. These were just small specimens I collected to see how they did. Always been fascinated by Mosses and Lichens.

Here is the little Bublophyllum bulb bathed in Autumn sunshine. Hopefully this will stir it into life at some point, fingers crossed!

Pictures of the Moss Garden the single Bulbophyllum ... errr bulb now resides. This particular vase was low and wide but with a narrow neck which i realised would allow humidity to last much longer inside. In the warmest months I place a plastic lid just to big to fall through to help the humidity remain inside.
