Very cool flowers! Don't mean to offend in any way Jack but don't they look a bit like cockroaches? I wonder how they are pollinated?

Thanks Chris! Have never thought of them as looking like cockroaches. They are pollinated similar to all other orchids by the bees, wasp, flies etc. I saw a program on PBS last week about Darwin's work on orchids and how they pollinate, very interesting indeed! Makes you think twice about spraying for insects because of what they do!

Ha ha Chris at first glance....... very nice Jack you are correct with the ID is very nice clone maybe if you see another clone with bigger spots grab it.

Thanks Zain! You know I have a hard time passing on any Bulbophyllum that I see!!!!!

Well ... My first thought was pretty. Then when Chris made that statement and I looked again it made me dizzy! Cockroaches are one of my biggest fears! I'd rather have a snake in my house

Thanks Sheryl! I am not a fan of cockroaches or snakes! I hope I can put that image from Chris out of my mind when I look at some of the blooms now!

I always thought Bulbophyllum as little shoes. But now make me imagining things!

Thanks, I have thought the same as you at times!
