Buying bulbophyllum- any favorite?

[Helene]

My orchid society (I really recommend joining your local society if you have any) are importing plants. And the bulbophyllum are:

- Bulbophyllum careyanum mounted

-Bulbophyllum carnuculatum 13cm

-Bulbophyllum carunculatum x sulawesii 13cm

-Bulbophyllum dentiferum mounted

-Bulbophyllum echinolabum 13cm

-Bulbophyllum Elisabeth Ann Buckleberry FCC mounted

-Bulbophyllum Elisabeth Ann Buckleberry FCC 14cm

-Bulbophyllum graveolens 13cm

-Bulbophyllum mastersianum gelb mounted -

-Bulbophyllum nymphopolitanum 11cm

-Bulbophyllum retusiusculum mounted

-Bulbophyllum sikkimense mounted

-Bulbophyllum taiwanense mounted

-Bulbophyllum brevistylidium mounted

-Bulbophyllum dentiferum.

-Bulbophyllum helenae

-Bulbophyllum spec. (sehr klein)

-Bulbuphyllum lobbii- ceramic watertube


Any favorite?

(The Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis I'm gonna buy next year in Denmark. Didnt see it on the list anyway)
Pot size in cm, when not mounted. Flowering size.

What would you buy?
(Price range from 10 euros- 32,5 euros. Most 12,5 and 17,5 )

I really want some, but hard to decide- they have more than 400 on the list- of course some are the same, just mounted/pot- but still- its a lot of plants. I'm overwhelmed😜😎

One of each...

If I could I would buy every Bulbophyllum I could find, my wallet is thankful that there are some that will not live in my South Florida climate.

If I had to choose only a few on this list they would be;
Bulbophyllum carnuculatum 13cm
Bulbophyllum echinolabum 13cm
-Bulbophyllum Elisabeth Ann Buckleberry FCC mounted
Bulbophyllum carunculatum x sulawesii 13cm
Bulbuphyllum lobbii- ceramic watertube

Make sure you let us know which one you purchase!

I love mastersianum. Had one but killed it

This?



I kinda like these as well:

But it seems to be a bit unsure what you really get?


This is awesome, but can't decide if its to pretty or not. I like it, but not sure- I like the orchids because of leaves and bulbs and roots- the flowers are just bonuses 😎


Kinda goofy and cute- I like this one. Lol, and it reminds me of the star-thingy in squarepants spongebob😂 (yeah, I have kids&#128526


Preeeeetty💕 And kinda cool😎

Oh and this one:


Who am I kidding, I love them all- its mission impossible to make a decision😆

I'm kinda like this:


Lol…
Oh and this one:

Not a bulbo, but sooo many cute orchids, and havent decided how many to buy yet...

OMG I would go with the Elizabeth Anna Buckley. It's beautiful. Have you seen the medusae or the facinator? Those are pretty cool too. I can't wait to see which one you end up getting. The ones you mentioned are all beautiful and great choices. I only have one bulb. It's cupreum, a cutting I received from another forum and it's finally growing a new growth

Helene the picture of the Bulb. Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' FCC/AOS is my picture. Did the sellers use it to sell their plants?

If you like leaves, pbulbs and roots I highly recommend this plant. Warning - it does get quite large when mature.

The leaves and pbulbs are not overly large but stay around for years. The pbulbs also grow fairly close to each other and do not ramble like some Bulbos. The fragrance on Elizabeth Ann is not "stinky".

The Bulb. echinolabium is a nice flower but it does "stink". Rotten fish and seaweed is what I smell.

Nooo- there was no picture- I posted a picture of what my google suggested. And then I was like- everyone can google, so then its a public picture.

I am sooo sorry- I can remove pic if you want? I just put it here if anyone else wanted to see how they look.

Thank you very much for the detailed information
Beautiful plant you have

[Brooke]

I'm not worried that you found the picture but I would be upset if a company was making money off of it.

I hope you end up with the Elizabeth Ann because it is a beautiful plant and an easy grower.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Seeing how you are the type to like cute/fluffy things, I'd say you would like Elizabeth Ann and lobbii. I'm not too sure about the lobbii as there are hundreds of different forms but all can bloom from the rhizomes multiple times a year. Their scent isn't too bad either. My malacca form smells of barbecued meat. Taiwanense would also be a good choice due to its super small size and showy flowers but would like brighter light than the others. Personally, I would go for echinolabium even if I couldn't get the others due to its large sequential flowers but the smell may repulse you. I think it borders more on interesting than disgusting for some varieties.
