BULBOPHYLLUM LEPIDUM

My Bulbophyllum lepidum (synonym: Cirrhopetalum lepidum), or at least what I think it is, flowered recently.

I only noticed the inflorescence on 14 Aug, when the flowers were still drooping down. By 15 Aug 10 pm, the flowers were already protruding outwards radially.

From the looks of these inferior quality photos, I definitely miss my old camera.

The 2 bottom photos were taken off the web to show how a fully established flowering clump would look like with its beautiful flowers.
