Hi folks . . . I was at a friend's house last weekend and he has orchids. He told me he thought this was a rare orchid but didn't know what the name was. ANY HELP?? I THINK HE SAID MEXICO . . . I could be wrong on that!!

Thanks
Mike

Folks . . . I am sorry but now that I think about it I think it was THIS orchid he said was so rare!

However, I would like both names if I could get them. Us photographers always like titles on our photos . . . :biggrin:!!!

Thanks again
Mike

Hi, it's a stapeliad! Frerea indica | Plants & Fungi At Kew

Both flowers are very nifty!

The first appears to be some member of the Family Apocynaceae subfamily Asclepiadaceae (to which belongs such common plants as milkweeds).

The second is most definitely an orchid. The fuzzies make me think some sort of Bulbophyllum. The flowers shape and presentation, though reminds me of some of the Australian Dendrobiums. I'll be very interested to hear what that plant is. Would love to have one myself.

the second one is a bulbophyllum for sure !
bulbophyllums are not native to mexico

Looks cool

The second one looks to be Bulbophyllum lindleyanum. :)

Agree with Gravelsack: Bulbophyllum lindleyanum
