Bulbophyllum Vindobona is a captivating registered hybrid between Bulbophyllum ornatissimum and Bulbophyllum rothschildianum, first registered in 1975. Combining the best of both parents, it offers large, showy flowers with elongated sepals, dramatic stripes, and a scent that is unmistakably Bulbophyllum. Native to the moist tropical forests of Southeast Asia, both parents contribute vigour, beauty, and a touch of the bizarre.
