That is amazing. Very 'ghost like'. I Like it!

To me the flower has similarities with Bulbophyllum sanguineopunctatum, but without the striping. I am currently in the Philippines, without my reference books so I cannot confirm my identification easily.
All the best,

Hi Ron, thank you very much anyway. When you come back please check it one more time for me so I could have a right name for em.
Since this morning I have been able to see my database of pictures. I now believe your plant is Cirrhopetalum cinnabarinum.

Thank you very much Jim. Cirrhopetalum and Bulbophylum are synonyms?
It makes no difference to me, if you want to call the plant a Bulbophyllum or a Cirrhopetalum. Taxonomy is merely somebody's opinion. In my opinion no-one is right and no-one is wrong when it comes to an orchid's name. The main point is that both parties know exactly what they are discussing.
