Someone (Fred Clarke?) told a story about thinking a dead rat smell was
coming from a Bulbo and then realizing after a few days that it really was a
dead rat :-)

Sue,

Yeah, dead rat - decaying flesh. It's not a fecal-based scent.
Bulbophyllum echinolabium has a fecal-based scent - makes people check
their shoes whenever they're within smell range but haven't seen the
flower to know where the scent originates. =)

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?
