Bulbophyllum weberi

A Philippine endemic Bulbophyllum that grows on the bases of tree trunks at around 1,500 m, producing upright sympodial growths and clusters of about ten yellow flowers spotted dark red and brown. Its mid-elevation forest home points to intermediate temperatures, shade and constant humidity. Published information is sparse, so culture follows other Philippine montane Bulbophyllum.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic on the lower trunks of trees in montane forest, a shaded, humid position where moisture from the forest floor and mosses keeps the roots from drying for long.

Recorded at about 1,500 m, in lower montane forest.
