Bulb. longiflorium
I might have this one slightly mis-spelled as it didn't seem right when I typed it in...
Last year this was covered with spikes, so far this year only 2 coming along...This plant decided to grow itself through my mesh shelf, so I can't decide whether to cut off the 2 bulbs that grew through so that I can move it around some, or wait until they are established more ?

According to Orchidwiz, the spelling is:
Bulbophyllum longiflorum
 Do I want one of these?

Only 2 of the bulbs have gone through, but it so happens that it's one on either end of the plant. The shelf is made of carpenters mesh, it's wire mesh the squares being about 1/2 inch. The plant itself has about 20 growths above the shelf and only 2 below. I think that I'll leave it alone and wait for the 2 that have grown through to get a little larger, so that I can share them with others. If there had been more spikes, I might have been tempted to cut them, so that I could show the plant off...
Sue, I really haven't given it the big smell test, so I'll check that out today. If it's not too bad, I'll put your name on one of the growths!

here is my photo of Bulb. longiflorum. It was used to be a common species here but now it seemed hard to find it now. But i have it in Tissue Culture, hope they grow well.
Cheers,
