A surprise bloom
Found this flower spike growing on the Bulbophyllum beccarii while spraying fertiliser this morning. I grow this orchid almost horizontally so I probably will not get to see the full glory of this flowering. Still it is a nice surprise ! This is the second specimen that has flowered for me. The first was a much smaller specimen which i grew mounted on a wooden board and tied to a palm tree. It didn't grow as well and I think there was not enough humidity and wetness to grow well. This specimen grown horizontally tied to cork bark and placed on cut styrofoam boxes grows much better. I could provide more moisture and humidity by covering the the sides with wet spaghnum moss.
