    Default Bulbophyllum rothschildianum

    Hi all,

    I've managed to squeeze out one flower from this plant but would like to know if anyone else grows these and what you do to get more than one flower....



    Cheers

    Sorry, I don't have this Bulbo either but I really like your bloom. I haven't squeezed even 1 bloom out of my only little Bulbo. yet.

    Yea, I like it heaps too, that's why I want more... and it is only a little stinky, ie dead fish smell... also the two sepals reminds me of 'happy pants' like MC Hammer use to wear....

    I am really enjoying it, pictorially speaking. Dead fish smell, however slight, would drive both me and the cat crazy!

    BTW - It reminds me of a stylistic art print of a woman in 20's dress - sort of an Erte' - ish type of thing.

    Cool Bulbo.

    It looks like a fat woman with very skinny legs

    I like it now I want one. Thanks for sharing. I would just assume to give it a little more light more regular feedings and let it get bigger to give you more blooms. A friend of mine grows a lobii that didn't bloom for many years and then give it enough sun and boom over a dozen blooms.
