It is definitely a conversation starter. About how long do the flowers last?

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

In this case, I can't answer that Darlene. This particular shot is of a plant at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Mostly I post photos of plants in my own collection but some of these unusual species I think are worth sharing regardless. I'll be heading back to the ABG on Monday evening, so if I remember, I'll ask.

Sounds great. I subscribe to the Orchid Column that the ABG produces, and this plant was featured in the latest edition: http://www.theorchidcolumn.com/2017/01/bulbophyllum-arfakianum.html?m=1

Oh, that's a great article with fantastic shots. Thanks for the link! I'm a two hour drive (each way) to the ABG but I'm trying to get off my butt and get back to going to the Atlanta Orchid Society meetings like I used to do many years ago. I have missed it.
