Bulbophyllum falcatum I think.

That looks right to me. I'll at least tag that as a possibility. Thanks!

Bulbophyllum falcatum. Very nice Harry !
I think I saw one with flowers at the NY Orchid Show last year and also remember it was pricey.
(BTW for those who are planning to go the NY Orchid show this year, unfortunately there is no show this year --> Official announcement
What kind of condition are you growing it ? Do you think it does well in dart tank ?
Thanks

To be honest along with many of my Bulbos in the large greenhouse, these have been neglected during this past year. Too many things happening to concentrate on taking acre of them. That's all going to change now since I'm now retired and can spend much more time on my plants. It saw temps between 55F and 90F during the past year and the humidity seldom drops below 60%. It got NO fert at all.

Thanks and congrats on your retirement ! :mrgreen:
Make sure to post a pic for us once it blooms (though I thought B. falcatum looks like that when it flowers ... :| :?: )

You are right indeed. It looked like the flowers were not open yet but I failed to realise they face inward.

Let's just say these are some strange flowers.

That is what is great about Bulbophyllum, how strange they are. Check out Bulbophyllum medusae, or Bulbophyllum saurocephalum .

Update on P. parishii.

Oh and here is a new bloom in the same tank. Spathicarpa. I think I posted this one before a while back. Not to sure. First rebloom. Likes it wet! Like Crypts.
