Red face Bulbophyllum medusae - 6 spikes in bloom

This is my first Bulbophyllum, bought about six months ago. I got it after seeing other members' photos here on the Orchid Board. I'm so glad I did.

It has been an easy grower so far. I keep it wet and give it lots of light. It spent the summer outside under a tree and it grew five new leaves. Never had any bug problems but there are little orange holes on a few pseudobulbs that look like they could be a fungus. I have been dabbing them with fungicide on a cotton swab.

Back to the flowers. What can I say? I could sit and stare at them for hours.

It has a fragrance. It is decidedly sweet, yet there is weight, and depth. It stays with you for a moment. It is pleasant, yet mysterious. It reminds me of something...my grandmother's basement, a piece of white wedding cake, a new plastic container, and something else...?

It took from August 30 till November 15 to grow its spikes and bloom. You can follow this plant from spike to flower here.

Hope you enjoy the video & photos.
