Experts I need your help. Is this Bulbophyllim sikkimense?

Hmmmmm this came from an old dude who used to come to the garden festival here for years. He was the Bulbophyllum man. He brought boxes of cuttings who were mostly labeled with numbers. If I ever knew what this was, I have no idea now

Gina, I thought your Bulbo was perhaps rothschildianum or a hybrid with that. But I am really just taking a stab here.

Ohhh, look what I found!

Yeah this one is totally different. Compared to Rothie and Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry it's tiny, almost miniature

Nope, not rothschildianum! Bill points to B. longifolium!

Off to Physical Therapy...

No, correction here, the name is longiflorum! Thanks Bill!

Such a lovely show! Boy, Bob Betts sure has covered himself with outrageous floof there.

So thankful for the delightful camaraderie on this site and sharing beautiful flowers.

Yes, this one has a nice long spur and - a lovely scent of straight Cinnamon.
Isn't it amazing how so many Orchid blooms are scented?

Lovely show, Ursula. I love the flowers on 'Sharry Baby' but I find the scent a bit too sweet - cloying. My daughter loves it, so I bought her one to grow in Utah. It's in her bathroom with a nice sunny window next to it, so does pretty well. But your Blue Bird has a scent I do love.

I have this strange red Catt blooming today, 3 flowers on this plant, two of which are not great - one has no lip at all! This basket has a tag that says it is Lc. Canhamiana 'Cobalt' but either it has reverted to a parent, or something else has invaded this pot. Confused Shrug!

Another nice bloom on 'Yellow Bird' before it has turned yellow. It's sisters are a rich gold now, but still look pretty good thanks to cool weather, although I noticed that the spots faded out completely from their lips as the flowers matured.
