Wild orchids of Malaysia, B.limbatum and C.corolliferum

One of the bulbophyllum i kept for years finally blooms for the first time in my garden! Saw some tiny flies attracted to it, so i tried to smell it.. and guess what, it's unpleasant! haha.. anyway, it's interesting species i have here. Look!

It looks like a tiny monster with big tongue aint it? haha.. it moves when there's vibration or air. kinda eery somehow, thank god it's tiny! :P
Bulbophylum limbatum

Here's the pollination in action, by some tiny flies.. look at the pollen attached to it! nice!
Bulbophylum limbatum
According to my friend, a big time orchid collector, she identified it as Bulbophyllum limbatum. Thanks for the ID yeah!

And here's a old time bloomer at my place, Cirrhopetalum corolliferum
But this one havent bloom yet, but it looks unique :P
