No words to describe these beauties from your lens.

Very nice and pretty. May I know the size of flower if possible? Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks … the flowers were approximately one cm across and not more.

Looks like elder brother of my plant, Bulbophyllum levinei. Please see attached. Attachments (1)

Thanks … for the nice image …and letting me know of a new species.

Is it possible for you to take a picture with the scale? Very nice.

So close to Bulbophyllum levinei, just that plant looks bigger and bulbs are not clumped together. I would also be grateful if you can share the closeup of a single flower to look at the column.

I am forwarding a close up image of the flowers as desired by you. I will revisit the plant shortly and get images with a scale and forward the same.

Ok sir. I can see the difference now. Lateral petals in yours have entire margin mine doesn’t. Thanks for sharing.

I also see some insects inside. Not pollinators but nay have something to do with pollination.

Thanks for the illustration …, noted for guidance. Saw your images of B.levinei in the efl page….Amazing indeed and what a striking resemblance to B.mysorense unless you have a discerning eye. Read that B.levinei  is distributed from S.China to Vietnam. Is it found in Peninsular India…?? Kindly enlighten me so that I can look for it.
