    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!
