It is always nice to hear the history of a cross. Thank you. I obtained this plant from Wilbur Chang who has a very nice collection of bulbophyllums. Feel free to share the photo with Bill Thoms. Mel |

Mel as always your photographic skills are so artfully wonderful. The flower is beautiful.... better keep this one close for next year's calender! It's definitely front cover material. I'd love to have one myself. I know you mentioned where you got yours but I haven't found another source?????
