Bulbophyllum rubroguttatum Seidenf. 1985

I brought this plant a few years back to Housermann orchids in Illinois.  Compared with my other Bulbophyllum it is relatively slow growing.  I think I had in too much shade since it didn't bloom for years.  I moved it to brighter light and it started producing inflorescences.  The only complaint I have with the species is the annoyingly long internodes, some are more than four inches long!  I have found very little information about this plant aside from the fact that it is found in Thailand.

Bulbophyllum (echinolabium x phalaenopsis)

I brought this plant a few years ago from Carter and Holmes.  It has been growing slowly, at least when compared with my other Bulbophyllum.  The flower is richly colored and the stink it produces is faint when compared with the sheer revolting and powerful smell that issues from the parent species.  I will repot it when it finishes blooming to a basket to see if this helps the plant grow larger.

Bulbophyllum facetum

Cattleya dowiana Bateman & Rchb.f 1886. this is var. Rosita

Dendrobium purpureum Roxb. 1820, can grow to be expectedly large, this is the typical form.

Bulbophyllum macranthum Lindley 1844, first blooming in my garden

I brought this plant at the 2017 Puerto Rico Orchid society show.  I liked the plant because it was large and had many growths.  It is growing on a plank of wood.  When the rainy season started I began watering it every day, if it had not rained that day.  To my delight, it started producing new leads.  At the moment it has six new growths that are on their way to grow larger and huskier than the previous growths.  It has a single flower and two buds.  In the species the flower is non resupinating, so it is upside down.
