Bulbo fascinator

[ChrisFL]

This guy is a recent acquisition that had no noticeable spikes when I left for Texas/California. When I returned 14 days later, it was in high bud with a second spike on the way. Sorry for the lack of a decent background. This is one of my absolute favorite orchid species. Smells like an empty baitwell the day after a fishing trip.

I like this one too Chris.

I en likened the aroma to "boiled crab".

Mine is done blooming for the year.

I adore this exclusive flower shape; I have Bulbo. ornatissimum, that looks pretty much like this one, also for the smell!! Jean

Beautiful close ups even without a back drop! It looks as if it's mounted on cork?

I love the color. What is the size of the bloom?
