Bulbophyllum vaginatum - Orchid Board

Hi guys, Bulbophyllum vaginatum is a native species in Singapore and they are usually induced to flower after a heavy thunderstorm during a hot period. Currently it's the warmest period of the year and they suddenly flowered within a week!

This pictures are taken at my friend's farm. Those at my apartment are not flowering as they are not subjected to the "induction"

Hello, mine is kept at my balcony at an angle where it doesn't get any direct sunlight.. Guess that's why it's not flowering. Mine is mounted on a tree branch with sphagnum moss as well. I got my vaginatum directly off my friend's tree in the farm

Do let me know if you're coming to Singapore, maybe we can work out a visit to the farm
