Well I don't know much about Bulbos, and only have one. Bulbo lasiochilum - quite small, supposed to be an easy grower - very moderate light, keep moist. I have only had it about 6 months, so haven't yet bloomed it, but it is supposed to smell like strawberries. I just don't know about growing in a pot as it really 'rambles' - I suppose it could be in a pot, but I am sure it would ramble all over just the same with time.

I'm sure others will have more ideas for you :)

Bulb. alagense
Bulb. laxiflorum
Bulb. tixieri

Keep in mind that not all Bulbos and Cirrhopetalums smell bad from a distance. For many of them, you start smelling their stench if you intentionally put your nose right up to the flowers.

Bulbophyllum ambrosia is also nice - as the name implies, the scent is sweet, like honey. Small and pretty easy to grow, as well!

I really like Bulbo Daisy Chain. I grow mine in a shallow plastic healthy choice steamer tray. You know, the one that has the slotted tray on the inside with the outer tray....it works perfect with a bark mixture! It does tend to ramble, but I think most Bulbo's ramble! Oh and it doesn't smell at all :)
