Bulbophyllum lemniscatoides
 
No credit, came with a spike.
But I had to share, it looks really weird.
A bunch of tiny, hairy, black flowers.

Some of the "stringy bits" dried and shrivelled, not sure why. Perhaps mechanical damage.

The plant with the flower.

If anyone's wondering what the styrofoam is for, it's to hold the plant in place because it hasnt stuck to the mount yet with it's roots.

The beauty is in the details. Bulbos are so unique and make up a good part of my modest collection. This will only get better for your plant. More pix plz as it grows.

Even by Bulbo standards, that’s a pretty unique flower! I like it

Very cool!

Now they're actually open.
I tried some more fancy settings on my phone's camera, along with a macro lens and flashlight.

I might try pollinating some.

That is one crazy-weird bloom. Very interesting. And nice photographic capture on that last picture!

Thanks! I like these weird blooms, no matter how small or "ugly" they may be :biggrin:

I think i'll be using this technique for any further tiny blooms.

Thanks for that as well!
I really hope this plant grows well, it's unique.
This plant has a bloom-grow-rest life cycle, as it is native to areas with a dry-wet cycle (Including here (Java)!).
