Bulbophyllum carunculatum v. sulawesi

Okay, so this is my Bulb. carunculatum v. sulawesi, on of the many Bulbos from Clouds. Since this was growing three separate growths in very different directions, I decided to divide and repot.

Here are all three divisions after I unpotted and got all the media out and divided. The one of the left is the one I am keeping, and the other two are up for trade.
Here are the two divisions up for trade.

And a picture of all of them happily potted up.


From what I have gathered on the internet and various other sources, Bulb. carunculatum v. sulawesi is a clumping, sequential stinker with yellow blooms and a warty, blood-red lip, with flowers similar in shape to species such as echinolabium. I actually found it on the Internet Orchids Species Photo Encyclopedia --> Bulb. carunculatum, IOSPE

Bulbophyllum carunculatum v. sulawesi

   Yet another Bulbo from my Cloud's binge. This Bulb. carunculatum v.sulawesi, which had lovely, green foliage when I got it, promptly spotted themselves, and are now quite ugly. This plant has three new leads growing, which is just one of the reasons I love Cloud's so much, their plants are just incredibly healthy! I am hoping one of the three new growths bloom, as it is supposed to be a sequential stinker, and I have threatened to shake one of my stinky Bulbos over my family if they bother me! (Apparently for the smelly Bulbos, they release their smell when their hinged lips move!)
