Try getting a closeup in focus of the flowers to share.  I'm growing a couple of bulbophylum species but I don't recognize it from what I can see from your initial post.

I actually found a tag on the other one. But I don;t remember the name now. Its a species from Viet Nam. Each 'flower; is actually a CLUSTER of flowers! They are so cute!

I looked up Bulbophyllum laxiflorum and see that they seem to grow both on the mainland of Asia as well as to the south in Indonesia and east in the Philippines.  Nice looking orchid, and from what I read it is also somewhat fragrant.

I have a ton of Bulbos and Cirrhos. Almost all are label-less. I have to wait till a few bloom that I will recognize then make a tag...Bulbophyllum medusa, Cirrho Thai Spider, Bulbo dendrochilum...etc.
