Product Details
Bulbophyllum lobbii, described by Lindley in 1847 and named for Victorian plant hunter Thomas Lobb, is one of the largest-flowered species in the genus. Each new pseudobulb produces a single bloom 3 to 4 inches across in warm gold to apricot-orange, often finely striped, with a hinged lip that rocks at a touch. Flowers carry a light fragrance in summer.
Native to Malaysia, Borneo, Indonesia and the Philippines from 650 to 6,500 feet, it adapts to a wide temperature range (55–90°F). Give bright, filtered light, regular water and fertilizer, and a mount or wide, shallow pot for its spreading rhizome; avoid water sitting on new growths.
Blooming size in 4" pot — photos are representative of the plant size and maturity available. A classic species every Bulbophyllum lover should grow.
