Default Blooming this week

Bulbophyllum sichyobulbon: emits a nice freshly shaved coconut flesh smell, second time blooming within 2 months.



Eria multiflora: small flower, each flower is only about 5-6mm in size but each cane will produce a lot of spikes and each spikes will have at least 30 flowers!!

The bulbophyllum has unusual flower, Eria remind me of Dend. kingnium with the mass flower display. Both very nice.

They are very nice and thanks for the ID. I've just tagged them by following your pictures id.
Strangely, my Eria multiflora usually flower during Sept-Nov.

Beautiful flowers!

I'm also having the bud blast issue with a few orchids. usually that happen to me if the spike/buds is produced during hot season and before it bloom, the weather changes to rainy season or vice versa. andy, some of my orchids doesn't bloom according to season anymore. might be due to the way i fertilise them.

usually i will use high N fert for a few months until i feel that the plants is healthy and stores enought food. then i will change the fert to high P and K to induce flowering.

Ya, I have heard about that method. Some use this to induce them into flower prior entering a competiton. Timing is crucial then.
