Bulbophyllum dennisii

This is a nice rambling mini that I have in my terrarium. It grows mounted on osmunda and gets pretty bright light in intermediate temperatures. No scent that I can detect, but if you look in the middle of the 'mouth' you can see what looks like a tongue. Like many Bulbos, this species has a moveable lip (the tongue) that rocks in the breeze. It also has two little yellow antennae that stick out to the side. Neat flower!!  |

This is really awesome flower....I like the way nature engineered its color and form to attract the pollinators.

Thanks everyone! I think I should post a pic of the plant too, just for reference. I'll do that tonight.

I thought this one was mounted on osmunda, but I was wrong. It's on a hard wood I got from Andy's a few years back. The moss has really started growing nicely around the roots. I've had this one since April 2012 and I think its going to be one of those ones that I need to trim back a lot. |
