    Default Bulbophyllum abbrevilabium

    I bought this on the first day of WOC and I have this in bloom today. Although the label reads Bulbophyllum abbrevilabium, I have some reservations. I will have to read more into the Epicranthes section to decide if its B.abbrevilabium or B.haniffii. Anyways, its B.abbrevilabium for now.




    Bulbophyllum abbrevilabium Carr 1932 SECTION Epicrianthes

    Cheers
    Vincent

    Not a pretty flower, but very interestingly 'buggy' in appearance. Is it a stinker, Vincent?

    It does, indeed, look very insect-like. Cool!

    That is from the section Epicranthes where extra appendages grows out from the flower. It has no smell as yet.
