Bulbophyllum gracillimum

I had another nice flower on this about a week ago but a friend cam to visit and opened my patio door and the bloom froze I didn't get any good pics of that one but I have a new bloom I decided to take pics of the blooming process and thought I would share. I see I'm not the only fan of this little cutie.

Out of about 100 pics with my phone these are the ones that made the cut. Looks like I might not have to buy a fancy camera after all

That is very interesting. The spike is quite long. You were able to get 12 flowers on the spike whereas some spike just have five.

Thanks everyone I love this little guy. He was supposed to go in one of my tanks and I had him in a tray over water by my patio door. Before the build was ready it started to bloom so I left it where it is.

Bud I didn't even know that the flowers comes in different sizes or numbers. Any idea what the record is ?

This plant has only given me one bloom at a time and this is my third. I have not seen a picture of one with many flowers on it.
