Bulbophylum Orchid

This funny little fellow is only about 3/4 inch across.

Lovely little bloom! Seeing the phylum part of its name, is it short lived?

This is a beautiful orchid and a great macro!

I really like that. Like a pink bunch of petalled bananas.

What a beauty! And a lovely capture/composition with it as your star.

This is so pretty. I like the angle showing off the stripes on the petals.

@Weezilou Hi Louse and Ken - the actual flowers only last a few days - even less if it's too hot and dry. But the plant itself is quite tough - this one just lives in a log out in our small forest area - gets very little love or attention. :)

@robz Thanks so much for that input Rob! It would then seem to be the same family of plants that we have in California. For the detailed beauty of those flowers, it's a shame they last so short a time!
