Bulb. Wilbur Chang
One of the best things that attracts me to orchid shows is the diversity in plants that you can see. This is a good example of that.
Bulb. Wilbur Chang = Bulb. (echinolabium x carunculatum)

That is just too cool! I love it.
I recently was thinking about this and wondered. The two shows I have been to, I have not come across any fragrances. Neither pleasing nor repulsive. Has anyone smelled a really bad smelling Bulbo at a show, or are these guys band from shows?

Actually, I have never (personally) smelled a bad-smelling bulbo. In fact I wonder if I can smell any orchid  I haven't been able to detect smells from anything other than Encyclia tampensis. My Sharry Baby is due any time now, so that will be the test.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I wouldn't grow one, but I think it is very interesting to look at.

we grow them in groves here in ohio when we have no rain for a month and it is around 90 everywhere you look you can see this very thing 
truthfully not my cup of coffee but i agree with going to the shows you do see a wide variety. and that makes it worth while
