Bulbophyllum Louis Sander
This is an old cross made more than 70 years ago. The plant flowers 2-3 times per year. It is growing in a 4-inch plastic pot with New Zealand Sphagnum Moss as the media. The plant is kept damp (misted daily) and fertilized weekly. The flowers have an unpleasant fragrance.

I would say the color is more a yellowish background with reddish brown (maroon) dots forming stripes. |
