Bulbophyllum foetidum

[Ron-NY]

really interesting. i have a bulbo that should be stinky, it has not flowered yet. it is my first bulbo, but i am afraid it will become the first of many once i actually get it to bloom. they are very interesting to me, and the stinky part is not so terrible, as most don't bloom very long i think. i have several stapelia that stink of dead animal, but only flower for about 3 days. i think they are a very funny plant to grow, so i got the bulbo rothschildianum. the flowers on yours seem dark and mysterious....... imagine walking through the forest and smelling something awful, to track the scent down and find flowers????? weird, but really cool.

You will find that Bulbo rothschildianum is not a stinky one...it smells like fresh cut grass

Zain, very nice!!....it bloomed earlier for you this year...you posted this one in May 2013...Being you grow outdoors, the "fragrance" should not be an issue. Do you find that it get's fertilized outdoors?

I understand.

Which came first? The orchid or the fly?

Harvey this is the most tricky and difficult question for me to answer I still remember the same question being raised between chicken and egg which one come first haha I leave the wise man to answer from our forum.

i need one! very nice.
looks quite big like virescens or binnendijkii?

You are right almost similar the density of the flowers made everything huge.

Looking forward your Bulbo one day sound very interesting but in the jungle I might think the serpent (Python) and could be wild cats I feel goose bump. eeee.

Thanks Ron so far none of them get fertilized despite many flies kept coming over and over could be my area is not conducive to support this process.
