Bulbophyllum plumatum outcross #4450 ('3805' x '5933') (approximately 25 seedlings per flask).

The Species: This grows in Malaysia, Sumatra, and the Philippines in humid forest at elevations between 660 and 3300 feet. The flowers can be up to 4 inches long and have a very elegant presentation on a pendant spike.

Culture: This is a warm growing species but has done well enough with 56 F minimum night temperatures. I've grown it both mounted on cork bark and potted in a net pot in moss which I hang up. I keep it evenly moist, but not soggy, and fertilize with one quarter strength fertilizer at most waterings. I've grown it in moderate light.

Capsule Parent: Flowers are 4" long.
