A couple of weeks ago, I bought a seedling Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis which has been out of flask for about a year now. The longest leaf is about a 1 1/2 long. My big plant is a giant compared to the seedling.
The greenhouse I bought it from had about 10 more plants one of which was not for sale. The longest leaf was about 3 feet long and he told me that it hadn't bloomed yet. He also told me that he had bought about 12 plants, but divided some of them making them cheaper. I bought mine for $60. There were some bigger plants at the same price, but I like the way my plant is shaped, plus I don't have the room for a bigger one.
