Interesting Flower

[Leisurely]

This plant did not have a name when I ordered it from Hawaii two years ago but it does now. It is called Bulbophyllum Wilbur Chang (echinolabium x carunculatum). This is the twelfth flower it has produced since it made the first one in July. The flower is eight inches long, has a hinged lip that flaps back and forth in a breeze and attracts blowflies with the odor of carrion. I find it very interesting. Most Bulbophyllums are small but not this one.
