Bulbophyllum wendlandianum
This is a faithful plant, blooming each year at the end of the winter, since 2009 that I mounted it on a clay saucer filled with sphagnum moss. I has grown a lot, especially this winter when it was in an terrarium, with higher humidity and light.
This is the best flower count I've had on a single spike, six 
Oh, I forgot to mention, it is a stinker  (rotten fish smell...)

Fabulous. Used to grow it but it's a bit big. Again, that last photo is outstanding.

Oh wow, what a beauty!!!! Does that mean your plant is predicting that the winter is ending soon?

Thanks, not really the end of winter, I think they noticed that we got some heat back in the radiators after most of the winter with a faulty boiler/thermostat which was keeping my apartment in the lower 60s

Thanks WhiteRabbit and Ron,
it does get big! It is not my favourite, but my partner likes it (one of the few) so I can't get rid of it
I'm not very happy with the background of the last picture though... I wish I had time to retry with some grass or leaves behind |

I like your mounting method, would work out a lot cheaper for me than buying tree fern or cork mounts as i can't buy those locally. Have the roots actually attached on?

Greengarden, yes the roots are attached on the saucer, plus there is a wire holding the plant and moss onto it.
