The flowers are not in good condition to confirm, but they do look like Bulbophyllum rolfei. It would be nice to see better pics of flowers.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Pankaj

Thanks, Pankaj ji

Thank you Pankaj.

Actually it was located in a cliff location

and that is all I could get getting closer

to it. And the flowering season is going

to be over I guess.

Thank you.
