I bought this as Bulbophyllum guttulatum but, I suspect it's a hybrid.

[jimscott]

Very pretty!

 

[Smitty]

Very nice morning eye candy!

 

[Brie]

Masdie FTW! And that hybrid is ******* gorgeous as well.

 

[Cthulhu138]

For anyone who cares, I accidentally stumbled across what that supposed Bulbophyllum guttulatum actually is. It's a hybrid called Bulbophyllum Kalimpong (Bulbophyllum guttulatum x Mastigion ornatissimum).

 

[dionae]

Beautiful flowers. I like the ugly phal the best.

 

[ellisonk001]

Beautiful flowers; thanks for sharing. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I like the Ugly one the best....

 

[Cthulhu138]

Haha, 2 in a row. I like that cultivar but I think that particular plant is dog ugly. The blotches are usually much cleaner and have more well defined and smoother lines separating them from the white. I hope it's next bloom session will be more attractive.

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

Wow!!! Love the bulbos and the masdi!!!!

 

[Cthulhu138]

Bulbophyllums and Masdevallias are among my favorites. I really love most Pleurothalids though.

 

[NewspaperFort]

i dont have any taste for orchids but this plant is quite spectacular!

 

[DragonsEye]

Actually, I think your Masdie may be mislabeled as well. The flower form looks wrong.

Glad you discovered the bulbo's name -- it definitely had the wrong shape for guttulatum.

Oh, your harlequin phal is not that bad. I will agree with you that there are nicer ones out there, but still wouldn't slap that poor thing with an "ugly" label.

 

[Cthulhu138]

I didn't think it was a M.amabilis either. Apparently it's cultivar 'D' grown by a Dr. Rolando from Peru.

Amsiella monticola :
This is what it looked like yesterday morning.

[Nepenthesis]

You need to add a phragmipedium or a cyprepedium!!

 

[Cthulhu138]

I do need a Phrag, soon. I grow several species of Cypripedium.

Pics of the cypripeds?

 

[Cthulhu138]

No, I was slacking this spring. I'll have to take some this year.

 

[mikefallen13]

Nice plants!! I really need to post some pics of all of my orchids

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

I cannot wait till my sanderianum and its hybrids I have bloom!!! Cannot forget the rothchildianum either. Although those are both paphs. I just looked at my grow list and I will be darned I think I need to stalk out some phrags as well. I love the long petaled phrags. Is why I like sandeianum so much.

I have never really been good as the slippers. Can hardly get them to bloom, but I think I have been keeping them too dry. Using the water tray method now and seem to be picking up.
