This is a favorite of mine that almost died a few years ago but made an unexpected recovery. It has an odd, bad smell.

And here it is with Devil Fire.

Oooooooo. That's a nice dark red clone. Now I'm jealous. Exceptionally nice. You should take it in for judging.

As per the scent, there are some around here that'll call you crazy, but I believe you. I never noticed it on my WSG, but I have a different humboldtii hybrid whose flowers were noticeably scented.

I recall it smelling a bit like animal urine but without the foul/rank notes, just the musky and perfumey elements. It's not something that people would call pretty, but I thought it was far less offensive than the more notorious Bulbophyllums. Of course, your plant and my plant could smell completely different given that they're two different hybrids, but I assume there's probably some resemblance.

I found it odd since there was really no mention of humboldtii/popowii having fragrant/scented flowers in any literature (online & in books) that I could find.

Thanks - yes I think you are accurately describing the smell. It's pretty strong too. You can catch whiffs of it throughout the living room.

Wow, awesome WSG! Great colour and pouch pattern! The recovery was definitely worth it!

 

[Chicago Chad]

That red is exceptional and I think a clear improvement to most of the caudatum/popowii types which tend to look more chocolate colored in my plants.

:clap: Both are beautiful Geff ! Happy it recovered for you and good to see you post again !

 

[SlipperFan]

They are both beautiful. But I do wonder is the red is a little less intense in real life.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I think the color is accurate Dot.

The dark blood red color is magnificent and I've never
seen one with such intense color. I'm jealous too...I want
one.

Just gorgeous!
