Bulbophyllum lobbii
Lobb's bulbophyllum is a small epiphytic orchid that grows on tree trunks in humid tropical forests, storing water in pseudobulbs. It does best with bright, humid conditions, good airflow, and a mounted or fast-draining growing medium.
Bulbophyllum lobbii (Lobb's bulbophyllum) is a species of orchid, also known as Thailand bulbophyllum or Sumatran bulbophyllum. It was named for the plant hunter Thomas Lobb, who introduced it to England from Java in 1846.
