Default Bulbophyllum echinolabium
I bought this last year at the WOC, on a suggestion and I am so glad that I did. I was pre-warned that it was a stinker and it has certainly lived up to the warning. I've been trying like heck to get Sue over here to smell it, but she's a big ole chicken

When it first opens the flower is over 12 inches from tip to tip...

I love the plant but I'm with Sue on this one....

That was supposed to be the one you and I bought from Louis a few weeks ago. I can tell you that if your plant is the same as mine, it's not the echinolabium. Is the one you got from him blooming yet? Mine has and I have NO IDEA what it is....

I guess when you live on a farm you get used to odd smelling things, so it really doesn't bother me too much. I even had my husband take a big ole whiff, he did make a rather nasty face, but it hasn't stopped him from coming in and checking on it!
I was telling Sue the other day that I was in the orchid room and had my back to this treasure and kept thinking "Holy Cow, some one near us must have spread some natural fertlizer (as they do quite ofter around here) and then I realized that the echinolabium was tapping on my shoulder

OMG, that flower seems to be a hoot! Great conversation piece too. Nice. Great photos, I totally agree on that. You got some nice details.
