Favorite pseudobulbs?

[Purpoh]

This is a weird question, but which pseudobulbs do you enjoy the most, and on which orchids?

I was attracted to Encyclia cordigera first by the big round bulb. Then when I found out it was fragrant I had to have one.

I also love some of the zigzagginess of certain Dendrobiums.

I second encyclia, I have 2, a noid that very closely resembles cordigera and a mariae. I think their pbulbs are super cute

I just took a peak at the Encyclia cordigera. Those look very nice! I'm a fan of Catasetum pseudobulbs.

Whichever one has flowers coming out of it at the moment.

The pseudobulbs of Oncidium onustum (Zelenkoa onusta) might be my favorite. They have this sort of speckled translucence thing going on.

Is a crappy cell phone pic better than no pic? Ok, here's a pic of my much abused orchid...

The photo really doesn't do the pseudobulbs justice! Sometimes this species grows on cactus in nature... and in cultivation.

Oncidium ampliatum has a very interesting pseudobulb. I saw one in situ recently in Panama and their pseudobulbs can become almost completely covered in those small red specks

Those are really neat!
