Bulbophyllum lasiochilum

This is a small orchid found in India, Burman, Thailand and Malaysia.  It is quite variable in color, ranging from yellowish with brown maroon spots to deep purple.  This particular plant has deep purple top half and a whitish spotted bottom half.
 
It is extremely eary to grow and suffers from very few problems.  Bulbophyllums are generally quite hardy plants cos they have a good storage system in the form of a plump pseudobulb and the leaves are generally thick and firm.
