Sorry for the little fruit fly, but that sure is a pretty bulbo orchid bloom.

Now I know what my unknown hairy bulbed bulbo is

I'm confused! Is this orchid somewhat carnivorous????

Probably not. Flowers are disposable, and not likely to be used to extract nutrients from trapped insects. This doesn't prevent unlucky flies getting stuck on parts meant to attract other insects.
