Bulbophyllum plumatum
This handsome little guy just came into bloom. Can't believe how different bulbo flowers can be from one to the other. I find them fascinating and of course want more! Thanks for looking.

Cool flower! I know what you mean about Bulbos. I'm growing fond of them too.

Thank you both, I'm not great with colors...but I would call this one a greenish yellow for sure.

Gorgeous, Brenda! This has been on my 'wish list' for years.
By the way, this yellow type is no longer called Bulb. plumatum, it was segregated out as Bulb. thiurum a few years back. This species is rarer in the wild and cultivation than plumatum, itself not too common.
Very nice, thanks for posting!  |

This is one of my favorite bulbos. They're so delicate looking, yet fun at the same time!

Thanks again all & hopefully it wasn't the kiss of death telling me they're somewhat rare!  Orchid wiz still shows it as plumatum...so I will leave the tag as is, but thanks for the added info.
I bought this one and a few other bulbos last spring from Piping rock orchids and they are all thriving, I would highly recommend if you are looking for one!! |
