| Bulbophyllum frostii (close up). |
This orchid is found in Vietnam in the evergreen lowland forests. The flower size is about 1 inches or 2.5 cm. The inflorescence is short (~2 cm) with a cluster of 3-4 flowers. The common name is the Dutch shoe and this is very obvious! I love this orchid because it looks so cute! Right now we have about 9 flowers but 3 have already wilted. At least 3 more inflorescence are developing and we will have another 9 flowers soon!
