Bulbophyllum rothschildianum in bloom

[JDT]

Another first time bloom with my new camera. I love this new toy and I realize that I still have a lot of work to do to improve.

Up until a few days ago I really did not think this was going to bloom, the bud did not look good after all the rain we had not to long ago, but it surprised me with a bloom and another bud on same spike bud very small not sure if it will bloom.

Thanks Parry!

I have a 4X4 foot section that I have covered in coconut fiber sheets that I have attached Bulbophyllums too, there are a total of 27 plants with room for 2 more. I got the last two a short time ago but will wait till spring to attached to the fiber sheet. I also have a 8X8 foot section where they are all mounted on plaques.

Thanks Yew-sung. The macro was with the 60mm and the other with my 18-55mm, I still have a lot to learn with this new camera but I am having lots of fun learning. I have also ordered a rail focuser, cable release and some extension tubes to play around with.
