    Default Bulbophyllum flavescens blooming now

    Found in Malaysia, Borneo, Java, The Philippines and Sumatra in lowland and montane forests at elevations of 30 to 2400 meters as a small sized, hot to cool growing epiphyte with 4" [10 m] between each disc-shaped to globose pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, erect, linear, acute petiolate basally leaf that blooms in the spring on 1 to 2, 8 to 10" [20 to 25 cm] long, many [30 to 50] flowered, racemose inflorescence with 3 lanceolate, acute, well spaced bracts. Very similar to B caudatisepalum but differs by not having a large basal sheath enveloping the pseudobulb, leaf base and inflorescence.From IOSPE

    Brandon, early on I felt that I have to do justice to the plants by getting good photos.
