I do not grow a lot of Cirrhopetalums or Bulbophyllums, but this is one I have had for many years and it finally bloomed for me this spring. It is an attractive plant with fat 2 cm oval pseudobulbs closely spaced along a thick rhizome and 4 cm oval leaves. The short flower spike comes from the base of the pseudobulb and has two or three flowers, 3 cm in size, that are often compared to a Dutch wooden shoe or a slipper.
