I am so thrilled to have found this post as I need some help or any tips anyone can provide as I am new to both the forum and to the world of orchids.

I have an Bulbophyllum echinolabium which was given to me as my first orchid, but is giving me some troubles. When my firend got it it was in bloom, however sadly the bloom died in transport. But thanks to the nature of bulbophyllums the spike developed a second bloom. It has now developed another bloom. Problem is both the bloom since it was given to me about 2 months ago have proceeded to develop to the point where they should have opened and the bloom seems to split at the very end as if it was going to open up to its distinct shape, but at that point it stalls and just sits there. AT that point and upon closer inspection I had noticed the bloom had detached itself from the spike and was just stuck in the sheathing on the spike. It has done this two times in a row now. I have it under two grow lights that run from 7 am to about 10 pm each day and keep the potting medium nice and moist but never in standing water. I notice just a few weeks ago what I thought were 2 new bulbs developing, however they both turn out to be 2 new spikes coming up from the newest 2 bulbs. I am lost at why the blooks just will not open and keep falling off before they do. Any suggestions or ideas? Im new to bulbos and to orchids in general so have no idea what could be causeing this. Obviously the plant is happy and healthy if it is send up 2 new spikes. Thanks for all your help!
