Ana Fischer asked: "Can somebody help me to find a photo and the culture for Bulbophyllum vittatum".
Ana, that name has been used for two different species. You've probably got the American species, Bulbophyllum vittatum Rchb.f. & Warm, which was first collected in Minas Gerais in Brasil. This species is currently called Bulbophyllum warmingianum Cogn. If you try searching under this name you may have more luck. Nowadays the name Bulbophyllum vittatum only applies to a Javanese species described by Teijsm. & Binn. in 1862. I've never seen it and I can find no mention of it in recent literature (eg, Comber's "Orchids of Java") which implies that it is so rare it's dropped totally off the radar-screen. You are very unlikely to have this species, but if you have, I know at least one person who would love to hear from you.
