bulbophyllum sessile

[jrodpad]

Thanks guys - I still haven't been able to find good intel on how long the blooming cycle is supposed to last so I'm going to reach out to the seller. I think she actually grows these (rather than acting as a reseller) so she likely has first hand experience. I'll post a follow-up with the answer.

On a side note, while digging for blooming cycle duration, I learned that bulbophyllum sessile is a species orchid from Singapore where it is listed as "nationally critically endangered". Can that be right? I did have a heck of a time finding a seller on-line, but I never thought that it could be because these orchids were endangered.

I don't know how I would feel if I were to loose an orchid that is disappearing from the natural world. I definitely don't need that extra pressure!

Is there any way to verify the commonality of this one?

Any thoughts would help.

Thanks!
