Bulbo uniflorum

[Rick]

Funny name since more than not has 2 flowers per spike. Blooms on/off throughout the year, but it's been on a role lately. I really like how the reds/yellows/browns shade into each other. Not a pleasant smell up close.

Pretty! Yuck!

Very nice Rick! Is it a big plant?

Leaves + bulbs about 10-12 inches long. I got it from Andy's in a 6" basket, but the rambling nature of this species is going to make it difficult to manage in a confined area.:evil: It already has a handful of growths extending several inches from the basket.

Most of the in situ pics I've seen for this species look like it travels along the tops of big branches.

A face only a mother could love...

I think I like it. Flower size? Is there such a thing as a natural spread measurement for bulbos?

If you happen to knock one of those rambly pieces off when you're squeezing by this one in the greenhouse, I'm sure I can find you something that will take up much less space in return

It's not too small. From tip to tip of the sepals pushing ~3".

 

[SlipperFan]

Strange little thing.

 

[My Green Pets]

I'd say three inches/ 7 cm isn't too small at all! I like!

Nice.. It is a local species from montane forests, not often seen flowering in the lowlands.
