Bulbophyllum picturatum is a compact epiphytic orchid species known for its unusual flowers and thick, glossy leaves. Like many members of the genus, it produces interesting blooms that appear close to the base of the pseudobulbs.
This species forms small clumps over time and is well suited to warm growing conditions. A good choice for collectors interested in the diverse and sometimes unusual Bulbophyllum group.
