Default What's My Name?

This little guy opened a day or so ago but with all the rain and nasty weather, I didn't get out for its photo op. So, what's my name.... anybody????? It is pretty easy so just play along.

How about "Stinky Slippers" Whoops I meant "Jeweled Slippers".

Really, I have no idea, but I did give feedback.

Very good, indeed! Now if you could get the genus with what you already know, you'll have the my name... so keep up the research!

That's my name. Also know by the name Bulbophyllum bootanoides or Dutch Shoe Orchid because they "look" like little wooden dutch shoes. They are supposed to be fragrant but I haven't noticed anything yet.
