Your favourite Bulbophyllums
I don't grow Bulbos myself, but I'd like to hear your favourite(s). Maybe a bit hard to choose with 2000+ species in the genus, but that diversity is why I made this post.

I like the small former Cirrhopetalums that may flower more than once a year.

Guess my 2 faves are lindleyanum and nitidum. I have more but these really make me smile when a bloom appears.

My favorites are Bulbophyllum auratum 'Josh' and Bulbophyllum laxiflorum which I had to buy. I might have to get a few more in the future but I really like the flowers on both of these.

Echinolabium, rothschildianum (and its hybrids), croceum, lobbii/sumatranum, graveolens, treschii/plumatum/thiurum, lepidum (and similar), and of course the best one of all, medusae.

Woah never heard of this one before. The way it grows spiralling up tree trunks like a staircase is amazing. |

Another great one (warm grower) is Bulb. maxillare (syn. masdevalliaceum, blumei) . Attractive and very vigorous. (and not smelly)

Medusae, which started my passion, and Echinolabium (the smell makes me smile!)
On my wishlist, diplohelix or contortisepalum.
Virescens and reticulatum if if one day they get cheaper!
A bit less showy, but I like treschii too - it flowers every year and stays quite compact.
