Bulbophyllum or Sunipia bicolour
This one was so sold to me as Sunipia bicolour, but I am convinced its Bulbophyllum bicolour, but I don't know what Sunipia bicolour looks like. To complicate matters, the flower bud was attacked recently by aphids, and caused it damage. I am surprised it looks as good as it does. It was supposed to have two flowers but I accidentaly broke on off. I'm so mad. In either case I am celebrating!! This is the first time I have been able to get a bulbo of any kind to bloom for me! WOOO-HOOOO!!!!!
Oh and it has that cool mobile lip!

Just got this email,
Hi All
I can see that there will be some confusion here. I have not looked at the picture of the plant in question but can tell from the posts that some people will think that Bulbophyllum bicolor Lindl.1830 is a synonym of Sunipia bicolor (Lindl.) Lindl. 1833 as it has the Lindley in parentheses, but they are two separate species.
Jim is most likely correct to say that the species Timondal has is Bulbophyllum bicolor Lindley 1830, I am sure that he can tell that it is in the section Cirrhopetalum.
Bulbophyllum bicolor was originally named by Lindley in 1830
Sunipia bicolor [Lindley] Lindley was originally named by Lindley in 1853 as Ione bicolor hence the Lindley in parentheses.
Much later in 1890 Hooker incorrectly called it Bulbophyllum bicolor thereby causing the confusion. In IOSPE I have the * symbol for the basionym on the wrong name [Bulbophyluum bicolor [Lindley]Hooker 1890 [I am sorry] and have now changed it. I knew the difference [as I had them as 2 separate species] but had the basionym on the wrong species under Sunipia continuing Hooker's mistake.
Thanks all for pointing out the errror

Hey Caesar, I have a plant that came from Krull/Smith that has the same flower. It is listed as a species in the catalog, but the tag reads
Bulb bicolor 'A-doribil' x Bulb bicolor 'cream'

Thanks Hiker,
I am sure this is Bulbo. bicolour now. Now I have to go look for Sunipia bicolour.
