Bulbophyllum falcatum aureum 3in mounted

Bulbophyllym falcatum aureum is the white/alba version of Bulb. falcatum. Very tiny and weird flowers that are small in comparison to the rest of the plant, but the purple spike darkly contrasts the leaves. Bulbophyllum orchids generally prefer high humidity and will thrive in low-bright indirect light. They bloom frequently in mixed seasons. Great candidate for vivariums and terrariums. The spike gets very long! 

This is a mature, blooming size plant mounted on cork. Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. Photos represent mature plants.
