Bulbophyllum plumatum

Description

Mounted on cork plaque. Miniature cirrhopetalum type species from the Philippines has reddish “feather-like” clusters of flowers that look like long, dangling tassels. The plants themselves are unusual and attractive due to broad reddish stripes on new leaf growth. This hard to find bulbophyllum is worth growing for the foliage alone. Photo shows the pattern on an emerging leaf of a young plant. Mid-size (for the species) seedlings.
