Bulbophyllum Doris Dukes

Bulbophyllum Doris Dukes (Bulbophyllum fascinator × Bulbophyllum rothschildianum) was registered in 1996 by B. Thoms, uniting two of the most theatrical Cirrhopetalum-type species. Expect pink-to-red flowers with long, fused lateral sepals that trail like streamers, while fringed, hair-tipped appendages on the upper petals quiver in the slightest breeze.

B. fascinator comes from the warm forests of Indochina and B. rothschildianum from northeast India, so this compact hybrid grows intermediate to warm (60–90°F). Keep it in bright shade with high humidity and evenly moist roots; a shallow pot suits its creeping rhizome.
