Bulbophyllum frostii
|
Our Bulbophyllum frostii, or our little Dutch shoes bloomed in July but as usual I captured some of the photos early in June. This orchid is originally from Vietnam and emits an unpleasant fragrance. Fortunately, I am not too sensitive to the smell...I do love this orchid, it is so cute and easy to grow with bright light and lots of water.
Once this orchid is happy, it really grows and spread out like a vine. We have divided this plant into 3 pots. Each of the division has produced numerous growth. This orchid is less than 10 years old. So for those interested, this is one of the easier orchids to culture.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the photos in this post.
Have a great week!
