HELP! Gelatinous masses on Bulbophyllum lobbii

[Dulcinea]

We don’t have frogs unfortunately because I love them. No herons. They’re in a wire summerhouse covered with a tarp right now.

I’m betting on the water but don’t understand it…Sara Jean thank you for the photos. It’s nice to know I share what I think is a strange phenomenon. I have a friend who teaches Botany in Phoenix now. Maybe he can find an answer since it’s relatively unknown here!

Thanks all.

Thanks all.

And do share if he gets back to you! Im curious and the only not so educated guess I can come up with is that it’s just the cellulose absorbing water

Higher resolution and larger image pics could possibly help.

At the moment, the approximately 500 x 400 pixel pics are relatively small, and can't see much detail.
