Bulbophyllum ipanemense
 

Here’s an interesting Bulbo that grows in the wild in the States of Minas Gerais, Bahia and Espirito Santo in Brazil. I am not sure whether or not it grows in the State of Rio de Janeiro, but its name is a reference to the famous Ipanema beach!

oooh I like that one!

WOW!That's a beautifull one... and you are growing it mounted on a chocolate bar... cool! ;)

lovely Garota de Ipanema!


(to be honest, I did not know we had Bulbos in south america... always thought they were asian plants)

Ramón, Bulbos are pan-tropical plants, they occur in almost all countries located in the tropical or subtropical zones:D

it does look like it is growing on a chocolate bar
a new medium maybe?

Hershey's, Nestle's or Cadbury? :hmm
Inquiring minds want to know :nod:
:coverlaugh:

Mmmmm, chocolate.

Good Growing, Rosim!:clap:

It's very pretty. I like bulbos even in spite of the smell of some of them.

Ipanema. The name brings back memories of the sun burn I got in Rio. It was long ago but the memory sitll clings....not comfortable.

Very cool!
I just got one of these from a friend and was unaware of how neat the flower will be.
Thanks for sharing your, as usual, great photos.

Mauro, what is yours mounted on?

On a choco bar! (kidding!!!). But I have to say that I had never thought of this that way before, I mean that the mount looked like a chocolate bar! It is on a piece of hard wood, Becca. One side received some shallow cuts causing that impression of choco bar!
