Bulbophyllum ambrosia, a species of Orchid, in genus Bulbophyllum. Moved home 18 months ago accompanied by mystery illness, (turned out to be gluten allergy, now finally, fully recovered, feel 16 again) majority of my orchids died of neglect, so discouraging, just about gave up on growing orchids. Elated today to discover five tiny, perfect, orchids blooming beautifully. So encouraging, might get a few more orchids at the Spring show Sept 14 Cooroy. #orchid #bulbophyllum #bulbophyllum-ambrosia

Wonderful to have this special get well gift. They are so tiny. It is really a fantastic find that you just have a gluten allergy. There are so many terrible answers to mystery illnesses. Going gluten free is much easier in this day and age, just restaurants can be an issue. If you really read up on this, you will be able to do well out and about too. ❤️

@lovestogarden @moore.794 Yes, great that diet change can fix a problem without drugs. Awareness of gluten and allergy problems is increasing here in Oz, restaurant menus now show 'gf' and the range of tasty gluten free choices in food outlets is increasing. My research on allergies indicate stress as the trigger. 🐨🦋
