Horray! My first bulbo bloom! There were some other spikes but they turned to mush when they were still tiny, not sure why. This is the only surviving spike.

It has a scent of grape mixed with farts, not the most pleasant

The flower is 2 cm tall, 1.5 cm wide, and 1 cm long (is that the correct word?)

Not actually sure it's fully open.

Beautiful! I really like the coloring. I am sorry about your other bloom-spikes but very glad one survived. I have this one but I do not think mine is noticeably fragrant (at least it wasn't the last time it bloomed). Is yours?

Thanks!
As stated in the OP, it smells like a combination of grapes and farts

Not too strong.

Update: A fly took the pollinia and flew away, almost got a pic. Another fly is now messing around on the wiggly lip. I will upload a video.

Haha thanks.

Also, a thing I noticed is that the petals fold up and close around the lip at night

That is really cool!

I think I am glad, then, that mine doesn't have a scent.
