Neither of them have any offensive odor
The appearance looks like Bulbophyllum maxillare to me?
@Jim Cootes - What do you think Jim?
I am personally somewhat confused, not unusual for me.... because to me B. blumei (IOSPE PHOTOS) looks very much like this flower (IOSPE PHOTOS) and synonyms for blumei include maxillare.
That first one is amazing, the dorsal looks like it has large frost crystals along the edges.
Hi Derek,
You are absolutely correct in your identification.
