Bulbophyllum frostii
|
Bulbophyllum frostii is a native of the evergreen lowland forest of Vietnam. Their common name is 'Dutch shoe', which is quite obvious even to a novice. The flower size is about 1 inches or 2.5 cm. We have had this orchid since 2010 and Arne had divided the original orchid three times now. He had given a few of the divisions to some deserving friends who had expressed their appreciation for these Dutch shoes. Bulbophyllum frostii does emit a special fragrant, which I personally, don't appreciate. Best described as a 'smelling shoe...'.

I cannot help but conclude this post with two photos of the original Bulbophyllum frostii in 2014 from my earlier post, July 21, 2014. See below.
Until my next post, as usual, have a great week everyone.
