Default Not a Liparis, it is a Bulbophyllum !

I got this little plant for free at a show 2 months ago and it just bloomed now.
The pseudobulbs are 1 cm (.4") tall by .5 cm (.2") wide.
The flowers are on a long and very very thin and flexible stem, they are 1 cm tall and stay opened for 2 weeks. No scent. It is an epiphytic Liparis (from what the seller told me), which is not very common in cultivation, and it is from India apparently. This is all I know about it.

Thanks for your help

That's not a Liparis sp.

That's a Bulbophyllum sp.

Heck yeah, it's rare. How about very rare.

Most likely Bulb scabratum.

Oh ! You're good, King !!!
I was indeed thinking of Bulbophyllum after seeing a picture of B umbellatum...

Thanks a lot.
BTW I cannot smell anything, but the flowers are near the end, I will pay more attention to the next bloom
