The Charming Bulbophyllum (
Bulbophyllum trigonopus) surely lives up to its name. Its umbels have up to 10 attractive flowers, each adorned with light yellow petals densely spotted with red!
Once widespread in Singapore’s swampy areas, this epiphytic native orchid was rediscovered at the Nee Soon freshwater swamp forest in 2010. It has since been successfully propagated and reintroduced at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Dairy Farm Nature Park, Pasir Ris Park, and Upper Peirce Reservoir Park!
