Bulbophyllum auratum 'Other World'
First bloom of my auratum since I got it last summer. The spike grew incredibly fast - I just noticed the beginning of the spiky little umbel less than two weeks ago and BAM, flowers!
It smells awful IMO... kind of like rotting mushrooms left in a the fridge too long  . Fortunately, I can only smell it if I practically put my nose on it. |

Pretty. If we were the pollinator tho, now you're talking Chanel #5!

Thanks all! The bloom was very unexpected. It also faded away within days... Three to be exact, lol. On the bright side, I have two more spikes!
