Bulbophyllum fascinator f. semi-alba
 

Came home from a 4 week vacation to this guy blooming; my plant sitters did good!!! This is my first bulbophyllum to bloom out of my batch of bulbos that got their roots eaten off in The Great Snail Invasion of 2015. I thought I was going to loose the plant by the time it was down to only 2 pbulbs from the original 9. But recover it did, and what a cool bloom. Highly textured and fluorescent in color, the only crappy part was that a fly got stuck in the hinged lip (see picture #4...:(() and killed off the flower pretty rapidly. I’m just thrilled it has recouped, though! There is hope yet for my other ones!

I have very few Bulbophyllum. Their flowers are so bizarre they are appealing!

Very cool.

Perfect! Very beautiful plant and flower. Do you have new flower in this year?

It’s finally growing in more than one direction and I actually got two flowers this year! Unfortunately they were just starting to open when I went out of town for a work conference. By the time I got home, flies had already demolished the flowers:roll:
I need to make an insect screen box to put these stinkers in. Same thing happened with my Bulbo Wilber Chang last month lol

Flies like orchids too :)
