Its a sign ....

This one is so cool it should be on the cover of The Rolling Stone.

For a measly sum, someone passed me this thinking it was Bulbophyllum antenneferum. When the flower popped out some months later, I was like - holy moley, what the heck was that - blink blink !

Well, it is treasured for not being an antenneferum. Its sepals are way too thin and long. At the onset of opening fully, the bloom looked as if it clasped its hands in prayer .

Its probably Bulbophyllum unitubum or the close relative kemensinus from New Guinea. So far all its flowers open in this manner - quite fascinating. If anyone knows its true ID, please share it here !
