Just went out and took another look at it, and stuck my nose into it.

It is still changing its shape a bit.
The lower sepals have raised a bit more making a flatter "shelf".
And, the tips have lengthened and curved a bit more bringing them a bit closer together.
The dorsal sepal is beginning to flex more forward and is more distinctly spotted.
The petals are flexing backwards more with the tips curving forward.
The lip has grown a bit more in size.
It is even easier to look underneath it to see how it is shaped and attaches to the rest of the flower.
The changes are not as dramatic as yesterday's.

It is looking more like the B. auriculatum.

Its "fragrance" is stronger.
I don't think I'll be calling it fragrance any more.
I think "smell" is a better term.

Now that it is stronger, it has a odor that I tend to term "medicinal".
I think mothballs when I have my nose in it.
It doesn't really smell like mothballs.
But, it is a "medicinal-chemical" type smell.

AND A BONUS:
Another Bulbo growing over the top of the Dendro in another location.
In the first pic in my second group of photos it is located to the right, behind the fern leaves, very hard to see.
My suspicion is that it is another runner from the same Bulbo that the one being discussed here is from.

EDIT:
Had M'Lady take a smell.
She concurs ... Mothballs.
