Hoping for bulbophyllum hirundinis blooms in 2022!

Up-potted my bulbophyllum hirundinis into this ceramic candle holder yesterday. I have not bloomed this orchid yet, but I hope to in 2022! The 2nd photo is not my photo - but should be what the blooms look like. They remind me of fireworks! #OrchidLovers #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Bulbophyllum

@motherofplants 🀞🏻 Thank you! My goodness your galeopetalum is gorgeous!
@Nataleaf πŸ’– thank you, her blooms smell sweet and spicy too 😍 I just couldn’t resist bringing her home πŸ₯°
Beautiful! How do you β€œbloom an orchid”?
@tango I usually read up on the orchid’s natural habitat, and try my best to replicate it temp/watering/potting-wise, and hope that it blooms during its bloom season! This specific bulbophyllum is known for being a great companion plant for phalaenopsis orchids due to their similar care and culture. So I’m hoping it won’t be too difficult. 🀞🏻
