This is a nice rambling mini that I have in my terrarium. It grows mounted on osmunda and gets pretty bright light in intermediate temperatures. No scent that I can detect, but if you look in the middle of the 'mouth' you can see what looks like a tongue. Like many Bulbos, this species has a moveable lip (the tongue) that rocks in the breeze. It also has two little yellow antennae that stick out to the side. Neat flower!!

This is really awesome flower....I like the way nature engineered its color and form to attract the pollinators.

Thanks everyone! I think I should post a pic of the plant too, just for reference. I'll do that tonight.

I thought this one was mounted on osmunda, but I was wrong. It's on a hard wood I got from Andy's a few years back. The moss has really started growing nicely around the roots. I've had this one since April 2012 and I think its going to be one of those ones that I need to trim back a lot.
