Bulbophyllum grandiflorum - a Species Orchid from Indonesia

First of all, here is wishing all my Muslim friends wherever they are Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

Today's species is B. grandiflorum which can be found in Sumatra, Celebes and New Guinea.
This species orchid has a very unique flower with interesting shape and light scent. It is as large as the leaves - about 10 cm. The flower lasted for about 2 weeks +.
