Here's a view of the numerous well established Bulbophyllum purpurascens clumps growing on the tree roots close to the ground.

Another smaller clump that's shaded, but is still flowering quite happily.

Bulbophyllum purpurascens sightings in Sarawak
I was on the usual morning run and saw these blooming at the tiny forest preserve in the city. There's no elevation here and the forest is exposed to a lot of human activity. Goes to show that the habitat of this species is quite diverse.

Is this the orchid they were looking for in the movie Anacondas : The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) ?
ReplyDeletea) Despite the reviews, that was an amazing movie
ReplyDeleteb) The 'orchid' they were hunting for didn't really look like an orchid and looked more like a Bat Flower, from the genus Tacca..
