Bulbophyllum sprucei - Orchid Board

Not sure about the label on this one. It doesn't look like the Bulbo sprucei pic on IOSPE, and I can't find any other references to it. Blooms are about 3/4" long. The plant is in a 4" basket, 50/50 sphagnum/tree fern mix, kept shaded. Faint smell of honey, but my roommate disagrees and says it smells like garbage.

Very cute, have no idea on the ID. But now we all know what you think of garbage, haha!!!

Jay's not even sure if the plant in the pic up on his site is really Bulb. sprucei. There's a question mark beside the name.

There's some tinkering with the color or lighting in the photo as well. The photographer tends to do this with many of his photos that I've seen.

Probably just told you what you already knew. Sorry can't help with the ID.

Really like that, can't help on the ID though I'm afraid.

This looks quite a bit like one of mine that I cannot ID:
