oh lookie, a bloom on one of my orchids a generous gardening friend shared with me:
Bulbophyllum putidum
now take a closer look:
oh dear! shaggy hair, long ears, large tongue ….
Bulbophyllum putidum - come closer
“come here, little kitty….”
“My, what big teeth you have!” ….
open wide, and say 'aahhhh'
pah! completely harmless. I still have all my fingers and toes 
This easy orchid flowers in autumn, likes low light and high humidity…. Still, I wonder WHY does it looks so dangerous? One would think this look scares away the little flies wanting to aid with pollination
