Bulbophyllums

B. lasiochilum. From Chatuchak market. Fragrance similar to Dendrobium anosmum. One of few Bulbophyllums with pleasant fragrance.

This morning i attached some B. medusae to a wooden log. They had overgrown their fern bark at my backyard.

Plant of B. gracillimum. There are three separate clumps attached to this fern bark. All from Chatuchak.

Seed pod of B. gracillimum from a previous flowering.

Plant of B. vaginatum collected from a felled tree in the middle of Upper Bukit Timah road to make way for a pedestrian bridge. This specimen has longer narrower leaves than the specimen collected from cluny area. I also found another Bulbophyllum growing amongst the vaginatum. This specimen has no pseudobulb. It still hasn't flowered so i hope it can be a surprise when it does flower.

Flower of B. vaginatum from Upp. Bukit Timah. The lateral sepals of this specimen is much longer than the cluny specimen.

Notice how much broader is the leaf. At first i thought that the difference was due to different cultural conditions such as light intensity and feeding but after growing them for more than five years, it seems that the difference might be genetic. I will post the flower from this plant when it flowers or when i can find my old photos.
