Bulbo subumbellatum

[paphioboy]

Flowering again. This species is quite easy to grow mounted on a long piece of wood with only a bit of sphagnum around the roots. the thin leaves are apt to burn if given direct sun, but bright filtered light will make it bloom quite regularly (once every new bulb). Flowers smell like rotten fish up close though..

P/s: anybody can tell me how long it takes a bulbo pod to mature? I just crossed this one with another species (not telling you which one ), hope the pod takes..

One of my favorites! Very high on my wishlist.

Cute flowers, but I sure wouldn't like the "fragrance."

Neat - the flowers look like they've been asked to stick out their tongues and say "Ahhhhhhhhhhh".

Excellent colouration!!!!!

It almost looks like a slipper orchid from that perspective. I like the colors too, especially that "bubble gum" pink!
