Bulbophyllum makoyanum Ridl. 1879

Bulbophyllum makoyanum (Rchb.f) Ridl. 1879 has been primarily named
by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach as Cirrhopetalum makoyanum Rchb.f 1879
in honour to its provider Jacob-Macoy Lambert (1790-1873)
a Belgian horticulturist and plant collector.
The Bulbophyllum makoyanum orchid species is native to Malaysia, Indonesia
and the Philippines. In common parlance this orchid beauty is called Daisy Orchid.
The small, spiky flowers reach a length of about 5 cm
and are fragrant. The smell isn´t nice, but also not offensive.
The epiphytic growing Bulbophyllum makoyanum orchids require
a warm to hot climate and are blooming all the year round.
