Bulbophyllum gracillimum

[paphioboy]

First bloom for me... I bought it about 2 years ago, as a small bunch of about 10 rather shrivelled, smallish bulbs going for only $5. Despite the wait, I think it is worth it... Grown warm and moist throughout the year. Likes shadier conditions than other bulbos. I try to keep it 'in the dark side'.. hehe

really great flowers!! You seem to have a very low-price vendor!! Jean

 

[paphioboy]

Jean, it wasn't really cheap cos the plant actually looked half-dead when I bought it.. I just took a chance cos I can't seem to find gracillimum for sale elsewhere... luckily it grew and thrived...

Ron, which nursery is it, may I ask? Is it NT Orchids? they are members of my local orchid society.. I have yet to visit the nursery in Kedah, but I heard that they have a huge selection of bulbos... FYI, the nursery is located at the foot of mt. Jerai, the highest peak in Kedah...

I recieved 27 Bulbo species from Lawrence at NT Orchids and was very happy with them. Most of them looked like front lead divisions of mother plants. One spp is very odd and looks jungle collected to me.

aa orchids are the ones that couldn't find my order.

Would you have any cultural ideas on Bulbo stormii?? I am not sure how to handle this one.

 

[paphioboy]

oh... never heard of aa orchids... sorry, Ron.. I don't have a stormii so I can't provide you with culture tips... thought you should have one by now... your bulbo collection is simply humongous.. do you plan on collecting all the 2000 or so species of Bulbophyllum?

 

[Ron-NY]

That would be nice :drool:but at this point, I only have 150 species of Bulbo

 

[SlipperFan]

"only"...???!
