Bulbophyllum medusae
 

These flowers are on a division I made from the mother plant. Al in Maine sent the mother plant to me last year. Al, a GREAT BIG THANKS! Last winter I posted a picture of his plant with flowers. So I took a division this summer and sent the mother plant back to him.

Just beautiful, What media do you have this in.? I want to grow bulbos but don't really know too much about them. Yours is a beauty. I have one arriving this afternoon, I can't wait, they say it has seven spikes. I hope they make the trip well. Do your have a information site to recommend?

Thank you for sharing these amazing photos of an amazing bloom!!! Truly stunning!!

Coming from you Brian, that is a real compliment. Thank you

Carol, I use bark/CHC. Keep them moist, NOT wet. I give mine more light than many, certainly more than dappled light. I have them hanging in the greenhouse because they look nice, get lots of light and I have no other place to keep them. As for a site, don't really have one. Orchid Wiz is a good reference if you have the $$$ to treat yourself to a holiday gift.

This one really has amazing blooms, and your plant flowered very nicely for a recent division. I think I remember your photos from last year of the mother plant. How's the smell on this one?

Camille, none that I can detect.

Oh good, that means that I can add it to my wishlist!! :biggrin:

That looks so wonderful! I wouldn't have realised it was a recent division from the number of flowers on it.

I think this has to go on my wish list as well. Still just trying my first Bulbo, not sure how well I'll get on with it, but medusae has to be one to look out for and give a try.
