Its beautiful! The smell of bulbophyllum is often a bit strange, I'm glad my macrobulbons didn't flower yet...

Buffet anyone?
Strange is a nice way of saying it stinks lol.
Yet to our hexapod invertebrates, it is a smorgasbord!
Nice one DD.

It's all in the nose of the beholder!

And you can almost hear that fly humming to itself: "Oh, what a day, what a happy, happy day!"

If it were not wierd the average orchid enthusiast would not like it! Congrats!

I think it is beautiful . I personally find the stinkers and their methods of pollination more interesting than those with the sweet, pleasant fragrance.
