Bulbophyllum hirundinis
Originally listed as Bulbophyllum makoyanum X sibuyanense. ID now confirmed as per this post http://www.orchidsonline.com.au/node/6957 (thanks Bernard).
At 35mm across this is quite a small flower which is also not as nice a shape as I was expecting given the two parents.
However this is a small plant still and it seems to be quite slow growing so maybe in years to come I will see some improvement.
Parents: (well not the actual parents used in the cross mind you)

I like this one Steve, a nice honest plant with sharp colours. I must confess though I am not familiar with the species B.sibuyanense. Do any members have a picture of this species?

I think I have one????
I will have a look in my files and post if I do Bernard. To be honest I thought it was already posted but the site has been destroyed so many times I lose track!

Have but no photo
I have this plant. As far as I know it comes in two color forms, red and yellow. Mine have not flowered for me yet. Had them for around six months.
