This month we are having a program on Bulbophyllums, an overview of the world’s largest orchid genus.  A complete look at the entire genus would take about 183 days, so the talk will show a curated list of species and hybrids that are found in cultivation and available from vendors.  To complement the talk, we have a plant table provided by the estate of the late, great Patti Baugh, which is mainly (you guessed it) Bulbophyllums.  In addition, we also have a few plants, ceramic pots, and small bags of Orchiata, to sell with proceeds going to Patti’s estate.
