bulbophyllum membranaceum

This is a miniature Bulbophyllum found in Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Papua and New Guinea, Solomon Islands Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.  It is apparently very widespread! Wonder if Singapore has any wild population of this orchid hiding somewhere among the tree canopy of our central catchment area.  I got this plant from Mr. Lim's nursery in Penang.  The color on the flower of this plant is deeper than the one i purchased from Song Orchids.
