Your favourite specie and why

Bulbophyllum psittacoglossum
Just because I love the colour combination and the stiffness of the flower. It has a slightly unpleasant smell.

I also love B. psittacoglossum although I've never been able to get my hands on one.

My favourite species what have to be Bulbophyllum kubahense, but really who can't love something as amazing as that.

Unfortunately at $120.00 a division from NT I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon, i would love to find a flask of it.

Almost tied with that one is B. binnendijkii, mine hasn't flower yet but is growing well, I'll take a picture and add it.

Do I dare tell you that I bought 2 bulbs from NT two years ago. It was expensive, 80$/bulb...

It did not survive the winter temperatures here, when we had -28°C outside we were away, and had only +13°C when we returned!

Oh no! thats not fun at all, what species where they?

How do you find NT's Bulbo's are? I've always wanted to do an order from them.

I don't know if this will make you feel better but this happened to a forum member from where I live.

Great photos Linda!

Thanks, but what are your favourite species?

H2O the same one you want! We had Lawerence from NT orchids staying with us 1½ year ago, we went to a show together here in Sweden. He has some nice species, but ask me in private and I tell you more...
Most plants are correct labelled which is good they are all bare rooted and needs to be kept under good growing circumstances to make them survive, meaning, If you live in Sweden don't buy them in autumn when the light is non-existent.

Linda, thats really too bad that they didn't make it. I would really love to see this species wildly distributed. I'll PM you!

My favourite Bulbo at time is Bulbophyllum chlorolirion.
It's a greenish shimmering Bulbo from PNG.
I really love such tiny beauties. I wish I could get one of these one day...

Mine would be Bulb. kubahense. What a wonderful and beautiful flower!
