Bulbophyllum vaginatum
 

Hi guys, Bulbophyllum vaginatum is a native species in Singapore and they are usually induced to flower after a heavy thunderstorm during a hot period. Currently it's the warmest period of the year and they suddenly flowered within a week! :D

This pictures are taken at my friend's farm. Those at my apartment are not flowering as they are not subjected to the "induction" :_(

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your photos.

Thanks! Pity their flower only last a couple of days :(

And they are not flowering at my place!!!:((

Great pics, thanks for sharing them. I hope you get yours to flower as well soon.

hi again... i used to put mine in the porch, it flowers a lot especially in rainy season. but its dead already... when i try to mount it. it used to be in a pot with charcoal and sphag. guess mine didn't like to be mounted. i still have my medusae though... going to find a replacement so that when my dad come he won't know i killed that...

Hello, mine is kept at my balcony at an angle where it doesn't get any direct sunlight.. Guess that's why it's not flowering. Mine is mounted on a tree branch with sphagnum moss as well. I got my vaginatum directly off my friend's tree in the farm :biggrin: Do let me know if you're coming to Singapore, maybe we can work out a visit to the farm :)

So cute. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all! B. vaginatum are blooming again! And finally, they are blooming at my place too :D:D:D
