    Bulbophyllum fascinator (Rolfe) Rolfe, Bot. Mag. 134: t. 8199 (1908).
    Managed to shoot this pic before someone actually bought it under my nose. Picture taken at a nursery.

    Very cool bloom! I have always liked this orchid. The photo makes the bloom look so large, but in my experience, it is not so large as this appears.

    Cheers,

    This is large

    I've seen the regular ones, but this one is pretty huge.

    I have seen this species in the Philippines and the flowers are up to 25 cm (10 inches) long. It is known to occur in northern Mindanao.

    Wow!! That is really huge and makes the detailing on the bloom easily visible. Thanks for sharing Vincent.

    The flower in the pic is around that length from top to tip.
