    I don't know what it is. My guess is that it is in the Cirrhopetalum section. It is close, but no cigar, to B. pingtungense.

    I had never even heard of this one. Honestly, I was half expecting it to be some weird hybrid. :oops:

    I photographed this flower in the garden of my cousin. He used to water them daily. The local temperatures are quite hot 90-85F during the day and around 75f at night. But in summer it can stay over 80F at night for months. So its not a place where you can grow orchids in the I-C range.

    These are funny plants they like the hard life if you have a problem with it throw it under a bench and watch it flourish :)
