This colony of Bulbophyllum vaginatum mounted on a cocohusk pipe is flowering again in response to the recent rain. B. vaginatum can be found on top of some of the oldest trees in Singapore. So far i have not seen any of them on newly planted trees. Some old rain trees in the old turf club and MacRitchie Reservoir has massive colonies of them and their mass flowering is a spectacular sight.
If we lose these trees we will definitely lose an important part of Singapore. So next time you go to Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant in Turf City, keep a look out for them.
Where to look? Its behind some fences around the car park. In fact once you know how they look like on tree branches, you will suddenly see so many other trees around the area with them. But please don't confuse them with the dragon's scale ferns.
