    Default Bulbo plumatum

    From Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatera, and the Philippines. Syn jacobsonii. Flower about 7" long.
    I have seen a few people with a yellow form. If anyone has a piece of the yellow available, I have a piece of this color form to trade.

    no the plant isn't big. You can see a full grown leaf behind the flower about 3" long and the p-bulbs are less than an inch

    It reminds me of green beans on the vine! (except not green, of course!)
