    Default What's My Orchid Name?

    This little guy opened a day or so ago but with all the rain and nasty weather, I didn't get out for its photo op. So, what's my name.... anybody????? It is pretty easy so just play along.

    You got it! It is also know by its syn Bulbophyllum bootanoides. It is a little 'Dutch Shoe Orchid' from Viet Nam.

    Your plant looks like small shoes or two aliens driving their own space craft.

    I like this specimen of yours, they are beautiful and attractive.

    Thanks for sharing this magnificent species.
