Bulbophyllum bicolor
Hi all,
This one tried to bloom for last year around May, but it was heavily infested by some bug (don't remember which one now). So the blooms did not come out too good.
But this year, no problems and the blooms are soo cool. These are special to me because it is the only Bulbo I have ever gotten to flower for me!
  YAY!!!!!!!!!!
I almost can't believe it!!!!!
Bulbophyllum bicolor, sold to me as Sunipia bicolor, but I don't think it is that one.

yes the lip sways with any kind of movement. Very nice action.
The fragrance is like a moldy smell. Nothing too unpleasant.

Very cool flowers. And a lot of action in the lip movement on the video. Looked like they were waving at us  |
