Bulbophyllum hamelinii
by Bill Williams
The only reference I have of this Bulbophyllum is that it comes from the rainforest of
Madagascar.
I purchased this orchid in March 1998 from Keith's Nursery in Townsville. It was
mounted on a black tree fern fibre with two small flat pseudobulbs. On not knowing
the culture of the plant, I hung it high in the orchid house approximately 60cm from
the top of the 70% shade cloth where it is still growing today. I water 3 times a week
in Summer and once a week in Winter. I fertilise with half strength organic and
inorganic fertiliser every week.
