Bulbophyllum A-doribil Upwind
Bought this last year from Krull Smith, out of bloom mainly because it was a yet to be named Bill Thoms cross (Bulb basisetum X Bulb echinolabium). I am sooo glad that I did. I love the color and the form. When I checked Orchid Wiz to see if it had been named yet, there was a picture from Bill of one of his. Hee, hee, mine is better. I'm a happy camper.

Just went out to the greenhouse, now I know why Bill named this one up wind. The stench was horrific, worse than straight echinolabium. Might have to relagate this one to the far side of the property while it is bloom.

Awesome! 
How big is it? Echinolabium blooms are huge, basisetum - much smaller. Did it come out midways between the two, or is echinolabium dominant? |

Dima - I haven't actually measured it but it is much closer in size to the echinolabium parent than the basisetum. |
