I like this flower, though it looks like its sticking its tongue out at any one that's looking at it. Great red color. AL

One of those fancy meaningless hybrid from the nursery. I have one plant with the same parentage and it is budding with flowers now too.
Bulbophyllum echinolabium X Bulbophyllum rothschildianum

I like this a lot...even if it is sticking its tongue out!
Hi Vincent,
Never were truer words written - fancy meaningless hyrid.
Jim Cootes
Don't know that meaningless is a word I would use -- I find it a rather interesting flower, myself.
Haha, i collected more species Bulbophyllums than hybrids and I think species has its unique charm. However, I do like all mastersianum crosses, especially Lion King and Thai spider.
Hi Pavel,
The intention of a hybrid is for the progeny to be an improvement of the parents. The meaningless hybrid illustrated above is not an improvement of either parent.
