I followed my nose today and found some Bulbophyllum patens blooms and a bunch more buds! This Bulbo has a most interesting scent - imagine a combo of raspberries and and a smoky fire, not unpleasant at all.
Hopefully the next blooms might provide an opportunity to get a front view of the good size blooms.

Here is another Stelis with pendant strings of hairy blooms - this is Stelis ciliaris, just starting a blooming cycle.

This cute little Pleurothallis mathildae was picked up last weekend at the SEPOS, the blooms are teensy!

And my Appendicula elegans has hardly ever slowed down blooming since I bought it some years ago. Th tiny flowers are easily missed.
