Dendrobium lamellatum

This is a miniature Dendrobium collected from the forest of Malaysia according to Mr. Lim Song of Penang.  Its beautiful flowers are about 1.5cm across.  This plant is sharing a piece of tree bark with Bulbophyllum medusae.

Bulbophyllum lindleyanum

This is an interesting Thai bulbophyllum that grows easily in Singapore.  It flowers 3 to 4 times in a year and produces little hairy flowers with striking dark lines.

This Bulbophyllum requires little space because the pseudibulbs are only about 1cm in diameter with usually a single leaf about 8-10 cm in length.  This plant started flowering when there were about 5 bulbs.  I grow it on a very big piece of fern bark together with another bulbophyllum species and a Coelogyne trinervis.  What happened was i was out of fern bark and out of time so i mounted all of them onto one piece of bark and left them there ever since.  They seem to like the idea so i left them alone.

This is the Coelogyne trinervis growing aloneside the Bulbophyllum.  Guess they must be very happy together cos they all come from the same country of origin.  Extremely beautful trinervis, i must say, with a delicate color and hanging gracefully from the base of the swollen pseudobulb.
