A couple more Bulbos

[Rick]

These are actually Bulbo-ish species.

Trias disciflora (the largest flowered of the genus).

The tongue is an inch long

Bulbo (sometimes Rhytionanthos) mirum (or ssp)


The flower is about 1.5 inches long. The little filaments coming from under the dorsal sepal move in the breeze, and make it look like a crawling beattle like thing.

I love mirum...I checked mine the other day and think I see signs of blooming in the near future. It looks like it is mounted the same as mine...Andy P ????

The Trias is cool!:clap: (btw, your box is going out on Sat.)

Yes another Andy's plant. This one is actually the one labled "affin. mirum", but asside from being a bit darker and more spotted than the standard it can't be a different species.

I agree...same species...I love how it only blooms in pairs left shoe and right

 

[SlipperFan]

Interesting that the patterns are practically identical on both of these.

 

[paphioboy]

The second one is new to me and interesting....

It's just starting to get into a blooming cycle for this year. Last year about 20% of the spikes were only single flowers.
