Medusa and Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann “Buckleberry” in bloom!

[utah]

Yeah! Despite temps in the high 90s, a week of straight rain, and a cold snap last week, my fussy bulbos are blooming.

Here are the first blooms from my Medusas my Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann “Buckleberry”. (Not rothschidianum as listed in subject - sorry, my bad)

There are all thriving quite well in the new greenhouse. I think that the tree frog and anole free range "fertilizer" helps.

They get soaked once a day (with just the hose) at sunset. The greenhouse is covered in 40% shade cloth and the bulbos are hanging near the door which is always opened for ventilation. The humidity will drop to around 20% in late afternoon then I'll soak them so they can soak it up over night. They haven't had any fertilizer (other than frog and lizard poop) since April.

My "Darwin theory" of orchid care seems to be agreeing with the bulbos. (And I haven't lost a single orchid out there and I'm growing everything from Vandas to bulbos in those conditions)

The photos are a bit fuzzy - my Blackberry isn't great at close up photos.
