Very nice! Doesn't look totally open yet but should be within a day or two. These can be very floriferous when they get bigger, this is definitely in my top 5 favorite bulbophyllums.
This type was segregated out as Bulb. treschii in 2012; the true plumatum is a bit paler in color with smoother-textured and somewhat shorter sepals.

Wow, this is new and engageing information about this bulbo. Not surprising though, since I just started getting to know these. Every day there's a new twist. |
