| Index Orchid corner I bought the Bulbopyhyllum alagense from Andy's Orchids at the Greater NY Orchid Show at Rockefeller center in April 2005. How could I possibly resist these clusters of tiny cute bulblets? I kept the Bulbo outside over the Summer in a protected spot. Since the end of September it is hanging in a bright spot in the greenhouse, getting daily rain showers. To my surprise I noticed lots of tiny whitish buds at the end of November. The picture shows the size comparison by the inclusion of my thumb, the buds measure less than a cm. If you blinked, you missed them... The picture to the left and the closer look below were taken on Dec.1. 2005 |
| December 7. 2005 Now a week later, most of the buds are open, the flowers are numerous and tiny!! |
