Bulbophyllum longissimum
Bulbophyllum longissimum, first bloom on this one. No credit for me though, it spiked a week after delivery. Small flowers, a mere 26 cm, likely due to this being a three-bulb-division, so hopefully I'll inch my way towards the famed 40 cm flowers in a couple of years.
Scent is freshly gutted fish, slightly pungent. Medium strength; your nose starts reacting some 30 cm (1') away.

OMG😍 Lol, those looks like Elizabeth Ann. But not as classy, considering the smell. That is kinda awesome😎
Lol, am I crazy- considering picking this over the elizabeth- because of the fragrance😜
(Just checked the list- this one was not on the list, with the gutted fish and everything… lol)
Anyway- awesome orchid you got here👍

The Elizabeth Ann is B. longissimum x rothschildianum, so yep, they're similar. |
