Bulbophyllum lobbii

The story

In 1846, the botanical world of England welcomed a remarkable new orchid from the tropical island of Java. This introduction was the work of Thomas Lobb, a dedicated plant hunter who braved distant travels to collect exotic flora. In honor of his successful journey and his contribution to horticulture, this beautiful species was given the name Bulbophyllum lobbii.
