Bulbophyllum psychoon (mini)
 
The Bulbophyllum psychoon plant is very small and mostly suited for a shady wet environment. For me this is perfect. My plant's location is a very moist - Wardian Case, at approx 750-800 FCs light and 99% humidity. Temps range from a low of 62 degrees F at night during winter to as high as 75 degrees F during day in summer. The mount is Port Orford Cedar (hard to find nowadays) hand split for arrow blanks. I had picked some up back in the 1960s in southern Oregon and finally found a worth-while use for it!

The closeup was extreme. This little blossom is merely 2-3 mm size and hard to photograph.

Thanks for looking.

So small, yet so happy. You have the touch! Wood, orchids, photography -- is there anything at which you are not an pro, Ross?

Edited to add: I love the mini bulbo. Is it a stinko or a sweeto?

Very cute, Ross! I like that one!

How do you manage to keep the temps that low -- Wardian in the basement?

great mounting and culture.
the moss makes it soo much more ,as if the branch was just picked off a tree in the deep jungle.

No fragrance that I can detect.

Exactly! Basement runs about 62 all night and I have a through-wall fan in the case that runs for 2-3 hours at night and exhausts the heat and some of the wetness. My Drac blooms all winter as well.
