The second plant to me looks more like a liparis. But who can tell for sure. maybe someone that knows the exact species very well.

The third one is really an odd one, hard to tell. It could be a bulbo but there are also quite some Epigeneium species that look like this. And personally I would suggest its a Epigeneium.

Very exiting. Like a christmas present that opens real slooooowly.


@ Jordam
I only wish that your native Bulbo. pygmaeum was in culture here in europe.
Seeing that species in nature would make a trip to New Zealand worth it

i dont know...... the flowers very rarely open up fully, mostly only partially for self pollination. but still, whole colonies can cover entire branches, even trunks of trees, a sight worth seeing. i am due to go to the bush an a couple of days, so i will see what i can find and post some pics.
If you are VERY lucky rogier, i may be able to get some seeds sown in sterile flasks, then ship them out to you. have no idea how long it will take or if i can even get it done as it is illegal here to cultivate native species, when it should be encouraged to preven extinction of some.
