Two more Bulbos

[Rick]

This grandiflorum is putting on a good show this time, and the fascinator produced a double bloom.





For as big as the grandiflorum flower is, it has a tiny lip.

Excellent Bulbos - I like the grandiflora in particular

 

[Rick]

Thanks Uri
It took a few years to get started blooming, but this is the second blooming in less than a year, and each time it put out 7-10 flowers.

 

[Heather]

Nice Rick. I'm with Uri on this one.

 

[SlipperFan]

Weird but wonderful.

 

[Park Bear]

Do all bulbo's have scents, or just a few? What do these smell like Rick?

 

[Marco]

I love the bulbos. Thanks Rick.

I'm starting to think that its just a few bad apples have given the bulbos such a stinky reputation. The fascinator does have a faint odor reminiscient of boiled crab (kinda yucky), but I've never detected an odor from any of my Hylosemas, including the grandiflorum. I also have some species that have fairly pleasent scents, patens and related species smell like cloves.

no stinky aye... sounds like they should be a new Genus!

Stinky Bulbos Rule!
