Hi all

This one I know that's a Bulbophyllum, but I want to know which one it is.

Here some pics

I can't help with ID at all. I just wanted to say that I like this bulbo, the blooms are quite unique, and those are very long spikes.
I hope someone can help you out with a name.

Yes, it's a bit different bulbo... so I didn't find any clue about the name yet.

Hi Luis, definitely looks like something in Section Didactyle, but beyond that I don't know. All the plants I've seen in that section open their flowers much wider, so yours seems pretty unusual (which might make it easy to ID if you can find a species description). Unfortunately I've never been able to find much info about these; my Bulbophyllum books don't really cover the New World ones and my books on Brazilian orchids tend to ignore them, too. Good luck, it's a cool one!

Ow, nice ones at Didactyle. I agree, looks like two or three from there. It's a good clue, I'll try to find based on these. Thanks
