We discuss why B supergiant winds are particularly well suited for wind studies, and present or refer to dynamic spectra which suggest the presence of disks, bifurcated winds, shock formation, rotationally modulated winds and the spontaneous generation of wind enhancements. They underscore the strength and richness of wind variability in B supergiants and the challenges these phenomena present to theoretical studies of stellar winds.
