Bulbophyllum Lovely Elizabeth (Bulb. Elizabeth Ann x Bulb. rothschildianum)





I brought this plant last year to Hausermann orchids.  I was pleasantly surprised when the plant bloomed just a few weeks after it arrived.  I has bloomed again in April.  The flowers look to me like a nicer, larger version of Bulb. rothschildianum.   I started producing a new growth in December, but a dastardly snail ate it.  The plant is now in a spot that snail can't reach.

Calanthe (Vintage Wine 'Mendenhall' x Rozel 'Red Velvet) frist bloom



First bloom to open in my garden of this Calanthe hybrid.  I like the color.  The plants are very easy to cultivate but few people in Puerto Rico culture them.
