Please ID this bulbophyllum
Hello, I know from experience that you, guys, are great at IDing stuff. 
Soo... could you please help me here. I had this bulb for a while and got a flower finally! I am not sure if it is completely opened or not. Whole flower is about 4" long.

It should open some more. I am no expert but first thing that come to mind is B. lilacinum or others in that group called section Careyana. Thats my wild guess.

Thank you Tindomul. It DOES sort like B. lilacinum. Should be a really pretty when it will open  Though lilacinum i see on the web has dot pattern but mine has stripes. But i guess i just need to wait till it completely opens.

I take it back. After further looking I saw some B.lilacinum with stripes just like mine.

Sorry for late update. This bulbo is blooming again. Which brings me back to trying IDing. As you see from picture it is more - yellow/orange than B.lilacinum. Also instead of dots it has a striped pattern.
I guess it could be variation of Bulbophyllum lilacinum but perhaps there are other ideas??

Hi Anisa, looks like cupreum or an orangey individual of careyanum, both in the same section as lilacinum. It's beautiful! Any fragrance to it?
