    So here's the deal. I have this bulbo species that's spiking. Until the flowers open, I'll post a daily photo of the spike/bud cluster. Whoever guesses the species wins a plant from my GH (plant to be determined later...). Everyone is encouraged to participate, but since I can only ship plants to the continental US, the recipient must live somewhere in the lower 48. If someone from elsewhere wins, I'll send a plant to the person of their choosing (unless that person lives in Rhode Island).

    The species in the photos hasn't bloomed for me yet, and it was from a 2008 import. Kew recognizes it as a valid species, and images I've found on the interwebs match this plant vegetatively.

    Here's today's photo.

    Bulbophyllum wakoi (?)
    I have seen already a red colored form of it, but I never saw one with a red inflorescence, so I'm not sure about the name. :confused:

    Never heard of bulbophyllum wakoi. It isn't that then. It isn't decurviscapum either.

    Bulbo lobii 'Kathy's Gold'? And I think you got it just cuz you couldn't stand that I had a bulbo you didn't have. :poke:

    My second guess is fletcherianum. :p

    Nope!


    No and no. Though I must say I'm impressed you know two species names.

    Nope. Definitely smaller than most in that section.

    My virescens is spiking, btw. :cool:

    That must really suck, Bri. Can't you just step across the state line, make your guess, then go home?

    subumbellatum only carries 2-3 flowers per inflorescence.
