Lovely!
It is a native orchid in Taiwan. I've ever seen this species growing in the pine trees in east Taiwan.

Thanks.

Thats fantastic. yea... I have seen some of these revered orchids (Bulbophyllum sp.) growing on the roadside in the Philippines and malaysia as epiphytes on trees. It is truly a moment of mixed emotions to see them thriving in such splendour in its natural conditions, while we try to baby them so much in our homes.

It is seldom seen in the wild now. Luckily, seedlings are available here.

Would be nice to get some seedlings. I think most of these plants are clones. Would be nice to get more red flower variants.

Doesn't smell bad? That's a bulbo for me, then!

Wow, such vivid colours. Great description of the growth, maybe I will try it too.

Here is this year's flower spike on this species. Very nice to see how the flower develops.
