Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis

Dissapointed - bought this as a Bulbophyllum orthosepalum and got another B. phalaenopsis which I already have a bunch of - schucks

but anyway enjoy it without the smell

Rotten meat stink :sob:, but these are really cool plants and I would for sure have one if I had the space and didn't grow inside my house .

To me it smells more like dirty diapers. Lots of ammonia to it.

One time (at a show) Bob Fallen plopped his big-ol stinky BP right next to my beautiful P roebeliniii. The smell was pretty bad, and kept the judges too far away from my plant to get a good viewing of it.
