Some Recent Flowerings

Paphiopedilum Philippinense

This is one of my most free flowering philippinense and it usually flowers after a few days of cool weather.

Coelogyne celebensis


Another of my all time favourites. This Coelogyne has one of the biggest flowers in the family.

Bulbophyllum sp?


This Bulbophyllum was recently purchased from Mr. Lim Song but i have no idea what is its name.  Will update the name when i get it from him on my next visit. Interesting thing about the flower is that the petals seems to secrete a slimy mucus and i only came to  realise it when i saw two flies stuck to the petals and when i tried to brush them off with my finger the sticky mucus formed trailing threads behind the dead flies. Will try to verify again on next flowering.

  1. Thanks Ignatius,

    It sure looks like a Lepidum.

  2. I think its not B.lepidum

    It looks more like Bulbophyllum roxburghii. Conclusion drawn from the shape of the inflorescence and the stripes in the lips area.
