John,
It's actually Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis.
Not a baby one - a full grown one grown under cooler conditions than it
prefers. It does bloom for us, which isn't too bad, but then the greenhouse
smells like a dead rat for about a week. Thankfully the bloom is
short-lived. Other people grow it hot hot hot and humid and it gets those
glorious 6 foot leaves. See: http://tinyurl.com/vln72 for an example of what it can do.

Dead Rat? I thought this was the one that at NY Show always had
people thinking they stepped in Doggy doo. You mean it is worse than
that?
