I love that!!! I seen one at an orchid show last year it was beautiful. I think that your bloom will open up even further.

Cool - that's really different! Pity the poor insect that attempts pollenation with that one

Fabulous! Good growing! I used to have one a long time ago and it didn't smell that bad. It had sort of a musty, sweaty odour that wasn't very strong unless you were fairly close. Not that that's a pleasant smell but considering it's a bulbo it could be worse...much worse.
