new bloom in frog tank - Orchid Board

Just planted this in a frog tank a month ago. Have had it for some time and of course have once again lost the name tag !!!
I know that it's from "Burma" . The one flower is very fragrant ,the scent has taken over the frog room . Smells great though .

Enjoy ,

That is really nice... I don't get to see my orchids bloom that often in my tanks...mostly just when I buy them

That one is either a Bulbophyllum macranthum or a Bulbophyllum sp. Burma aff. macranthum.

Does it smell like cucumbers and cloves?

I think that's a good call, Sue.

Darren, back when I had terrarium plants, I taped a "location map" to the back identifying the major landmark objects and the ID's of the plants near them. Worked great.

Thanks Sue , it dose smell like that ! Smells soo good ! Ray ,I typically do label everything . At the time I was given all of the orchids they had labels ,just not attached to all of the plants ,so right off the bat I was screwed . A big guessing game . But it's all my fault as I was the labeling guy at the greenhouse

.It's just hard when they guy goes "hey would you like some of this?" and keep a focused mind while drooling !!!
Thanks for all of the imput .
