Us Army war vet and ex lineman. I bought my first orchid in the 90's, and have been hooked since. Orchids are the world's biggest plant family and they live on every continent except for Antarctica. Your mind will be completely blown away

Bulbophyllum Medusa.
This is a cool one and it looks like a hairy golf ball. Each cluster consists of about 15 flowers with long, thread-like lateral sepals arranged in a circle at the tip of the flowering stem.
If you look close enough, you'll see a little bit of yellow in there too

I have the pleasure of reporting that my Bulbophyllum Medusa has bloomed.
The Bulbophyllum represent the largest family of orchids. They usually attract flies and moths, so sometimes they don't smell so good. This flower reminds me of corn silk

I was watering my plants this morning and found the flowers Spike bent over and snapped. Lesson learned, I should have tied it up

Check out my Cattleya, copper Queen
It just opened up this morning. This is a really cool flower, because it changes colors as it matures.
I will post better pictures once it fully opens.
