Love the blooms, Zain! WOW! I love this bulbo. We lost ours in a freeze several years ago and we still have not replaced it. I really need to get another one.

So sad to hear that Bruce this species is well known to propagate very fast (but not spotted type) in orchid house for the sure you can get the cutting another 2 years time from Jack. Fingers crossed Bruce.

Very nice! Looks abit ghostly at night like b. cucullata...hahaha.

Sometimes the smell like rotten fish especially during their season. You can found in abundance in Taiping Perak maybe is the heaven for this species.

How do you keep the "hair" untangled.

Avoid direct spray of water and the nature always keep the flower in that way..really fantastic.

How do you keep the "hair" untangled.

I am tempted to say , a daily shampoo and blow dry....

But seriously, I have so often read that the flowers have an awful smell, that I have always avoided this one.
