Nice Bulbophyllum, reminds me of MSBG's Bulbo. phalaenopsis.... does it smell like sewage or wet cardboard?
No Bulbo. in bloom here, yet..... soon to have my Trias picta in bloom, and then possibly my Cirrho. lepidum specimen in November...... could have bloomed this summer, but decided to make a junk load of shoots.....
Any other Bulbo., Cirrho., Trias, etc. in bloom? This is a very nice one, never saw this one, really reminds me of a Pelican, like Luerella (Masdevallia) pelanthraceps..... (BTW, Masdevallia pelanthraceps was described as a Masdevallia, then into Luerella [named after Dr. Luer], and then recanted back into Masdevallia....the question, why?)

No smell that I can detect. I can't think of any Hylosema sp. that are known for odor.
The bellina has 3 open flowers now :Party:

Looks similar to the burfordiense in form. Nice looking bulbo!
