Bulb. corolliferum
First time flowering this species for me! The flowers were covered in drops of nectar, is that normal?
edit: name on tag is corolliferum, not pulchellum

Beautiful!
I don't grow any Bulbos, but do have some Catts that can have sap on the flowers.

Depending of the genus/species you can have nectaries (not sure of the name in English), the specialised cells producing nectar in the flowers, on their petals/sepals, on the spike… It's part of a strategy to attract ants for protection or even dissemination of seeds (some Vanilla have the seeds immersed in a glue with sugar).

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Bulbophyllum pulchellum and Bulb corolliferum are synonymous.

King, I'm thinking so too. Looking at the pics I've found online they're either the same species or mislabeled ALOT.
