Thank you Sonya. I didn't know the photo attachment didn't work. I've uploaded the pic in my photo album with 2 probable names suggested by an expert: Bulb. arfakense or Bulb. plagiatum. The vendor is from Malaysia.

No worries! It happens sometimes. I added the photo to your post just for ease for other members to see it and hopefully help you out. Good luck!

It's very cool, btw!

I wanted you to know that at least I have looked at your post, but I cannot help out with an ID, so that you do not feel as if your post had been neglected.

The same situation may have happened with the other members in that they are stumped as well, idk.

There are a lot of species of orchids that are still unidentified by science, particularly in the larger groups of orchids such as Bulbophyllum and Pleurothallids in general.

I'm sorry.

Congratulations on a rare find though!

Could it be an albanistic form of Bulbo nitidum?

Thank you Phillip. I really appreciate your reply. It's the usual thing! Maybe someone from somewhere will give me the positive ID.

I hope it's a rare find too!

If it were, then it would be a rare find indeed!
