Bulbophyllum hirundinis
This has always been a very "fast" growing orchid for me. In fact, it is one of my first non-lepanthes orchids. It was crazy to see the root growth in this species. Even the flowers. Heck...I should have easily done a time lapse with this. Flowers opened in the span of hours to a single day once the spike was fully grown.
Anyways...a beautiful beautiful garland of flowers. My first ever bulbophyllum flowering. And so cute too.

Ha! A lot of bulbophyllums are notorious for smelling like things that flies like to eat... blech. Glad yours is not offensive  |

Do you grow in mounted or in a basket?
What are your conditions for hirundinis?
Are you going it on the warm conditions?

It is growing in intermediate conditions mounted on the bark flat it came with a lot of air movement. It is in an open tank..but there is the vent for the central air conditioning right above the tank...so the plants are constantly (multiple times a day) being exposed to this breeze. I mist/water them at least once to twice daily.
