Mastiphyllum Santa Claus
This is the first flowering of this plant. It is Bulb. Elizabeth Ann X Mastigion fascinator. It has no sent at the present. I will be putting it in a 6" wooden basket after it is finished blooming.

Beautiful flowers. Your orchid plant is fast becoming a cluster specimen. Your instincts are correct, put this in a basket and under it put a bowl of water for added humidity.

BEEEEEEOOOOOTIFUL!!
BTW - The name Mastigion is no longer...they are all now considered just Bulbophyllum so your plant is...
Bulbophyllum Santa Claus.

Bulbbophyllums grow best for me in baskets. Orchids on a stick don't grow very well under my light set up. Most are hung in front of a Hydro-fogger, with the temp. from 55* to 65* and the humidity at about 80%. |
