Bulbophyllum Fascinator in Bloom!
Oh my goodness. I am so excited. When I came home from school today, I noticed that my fascinator bud had opened up. I hadn't expected it because it isn't that long, but I love it. Now I have included pictures of the bloom and there is something interesting about it. Most fascinator blooms are up to 9" long. My bloom is about 3" long. Does anyone know why this may be? Could it possibly be a dwarf? Also, while carrying it to take pictures of it, I noticed something that scared the crap out of me. The sepal (part in the middle) moves up and down like the eyes of a baby doll when you tilt it forward and backwards. I almost dropped the plant because I thought the bloom was moving. I have also included pictures of the sepal in the up (pic 6) and down positions (pic 7). So amazing! Anyways, here are the much anticipated pictures.
