Bulbophyllum lasiochilum

Bulbophyllum lasiochilum - this one makes me always happy, blooming every year at this time, first bud opened, many on it's way. Potted in plastic basket, mix of sphagnum and medium chips, hanging in bright shade, keeping moist through out year, regular fertilizing.

What a really neat flower!

Beautiful color and form!

Neat!
:D thanks for putting a new temptation in my life ;)

Cute little bloom :) Does it have any fragrance?

I share your enthusiasm. I've got the darker color but just throwing out leaves.Potted in moss and under grow lites. Do you think that too much lite has a negative effect?

Thank you so much everyone. Nepenthesguy I know it is weird but I never smell any scent from my Bulbos, I guess I do not have the stinky once. Dea, I would say that the amount of the light would not have negative effect on the blooms, but maybe on the leaves, and they may burn or turn reddish if too much light?

My lasiochilum is sulking and I do not know why.
So I am thinking of mounting it on drift wood or villosia ... I will probably kill it in the prosess.

These are supposed to smell like strawberries.

Sorry to hear that, if you are going to have it mounted make sure that it will be moist, I do not think it appreciates to dry out.

Really I must check the scent more often, I love strawberries.
