LOL@smell very bad...I will forgive the smell just looking at how lovely it is and the color just hits you ! Acid citrusy color and the texture is thick and candy like ...the shape is like a star...the center dark moist area is scary tho(I am sure thats where the smell comes from)

Yes, I am quite sure the smell comes from the lip. The best way to guestimate if a Bulbo is going to smell is by the colour of the flower and lip. The more red the flower and lip is, it will generally be smellier. Especially when the lip is as gross and bubbly looking as it is on this one. The reason why is because in nature, most Bulbo's are pollinated by flies, which is the reason most look and smell like something dead or rotting! |
