Bulbophyllum claptonense

Description

Bulbophyllum claptonense (Clapton’s Bulbo, named for Clapton, Australia) is a warm-growing species very closely related to Bulbophyllum lobii.  Like other Bulbos, it likes moderate to low light and moist conditions.  This is a creeper that can be grown mounted or in a pot depending on your preferences and conditions.  I love that the flower is super showy:  yellow with maroon stripes and spots and large in comparison to the small plant.  You’ll be happy to know that Bulbophyllum claptonense doesn’t stink 🙂
