Bulbophyllum tenuifolium

Blooms about one cm. across. Open only for a few hours in the early morning; by noontime it is fully closed.

Strange-cool bloom. Thanks for the photos.

Amazing pictures! Thanks!

Good timing to capture such a short-lived bloom! Is that the quickest bloom to fade, in your collection, Neson?

About the same as Bulbophyllum catenulatum.

Dendrobium polytrichum is gone in one day as well as some Thrixpermum, Flickingeria fimbiata, and Pteroceras.

I believe you also have some Erias. My Eria bractescens only lasts for 2-3 days. It's funny because it goes from no sign of a spike to full bloom in about that same time.
