Smile Bulbophyllum longissimum-Xtraordinary.

Just to share with you 4 years backed I bought B. longissimum inside the flask from Siamese Vendor and told me that this was special during International Orchids Fair in Malaysia. At that time I was crazier about B. longis. Out of 50 young seedling about 1/2 growing very well into mature plants. 1/3 having extraordinary petals measuring more than 37cm. The above photos I measured about 45cm. Really very very long... Have a look.

I envy you sticking all of your orchids on trees like that. In Texas they would last about 5 days or so before dying.

Lovely bulbo!

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .
