Bulbophyllum Thailand

[Jmbaum]

Hello wondering if anyone can ID this large leaf bulbophyllum.

And I don’t know what the second thing is, some sort of epiphytic cactus?

Any ideas?

Is this in the wild? In cultivation? In Thailand? That's not a cactus. Cacti are native only to the New World except for one species. I wonder about an ant plant or an ant fern.

Both photos are from Bangkok chatuchak plant market, so in cultivation, not necessarily endemic. I was going through my photos, and these didn't have any information. I've been interested in the larger and unique bulbophyllum morphologies... and ultimately if I was able to care for one. What struck me was the length of the inflorescence, what I had seen previous with this plant shape was something that sits closer to the plant.

Go to IOSPE and look up members of Bulbophyllum section Macrobulbon. It's probably one of those.

The second photo looks like Hoya imbricata.

Wow, you’re right! Geez never had seen anything like it. There were so many oddities when I’d go plant shopping in that market. Miss that... and the prices.
