Bulbophyllum medusae first bloom of this season
 

:biggrin:
So, finally even mine decided it is a time, little late this year, and so far only one spike opened, but there are 2 on the way, this is really my favorite Bulbo, and this one got me to growing them, when I saw it for the first time, I did fell in love with Bulbophyllums, and started to call them "space orchids" due t their unusual strange blooms! This is my oldest medusae, I have it for some 4 years, and got it as the division of some 5 rhizomes, grow in plastic basket, sphagnum moss, watering every day or every 2 days, never letting dry out. Bright shade, and fertilize pretty often, 2-3 times a month in active season. I do give some seaweed also.

Gorgeous bloom! Congratulations, even late than none....

Thanks Bud:-) Last year it started in Septembeer and the last blooms were in December, so I hope this year will go from now for next few months. My Bulbo shirley this year provided quite a show, started in September it had already over 15 spikes, sometimes 4 at the time open, and it still pushes the new ones:-) I do fertilize my bulbos though much more this year, and for the first time they are getting seaweed also this year:-)

Wow amazing blooms they are so cool looking!!! it loves you for all the time and effort you have provided it :)

Many thanks Hector

Terrific!

Many thanks Brook, it is not as gorgeous as yours, but slowly growing there, at least this one enjoys all the rain, not like all the other babies suffering now:-(
