I finally got an Elizabeth Anne 'buckleberry'

Elizabeth Anne 'buckleberry'

I told myself I would buy this and also finally get a good (big) medusea alba. (Though now, after seeing "spotty" I would consider that too). Well I have not yet found the big Medusea, but I now have the big buckleberry.

This is a big Elizabeth Anne 'buckleberry.' It's apparently a division of an even bigger one. And it even has some spikes!

There's the tape measure...

Good choices. If it ever warms up in my area,I'll be hanging all the bulbos outside under a tree which always gives them a boost.

They're in my DYI shade house made out of a dog kennel. I'm putting in a misting set up too.

I will be doing work on the "shade house" soon. I am going to make a pitched roof of 1/2 inch pvc pipe,and various angle fittings. Actually I am going out to the DYI store to get some PVC pipe today. It is just a simple "dog kennel" about 6 feet by 10 feet. I got it when we had a large rescue dog and did not have a proper fence. The dog is long gone, we found her a home in Colorado, and a new fence is up. I use it as an orchid house with some shade cloth I got. I've seen these large dog kennels on craigs list for a few hundred dollars. I like this method because it is actually portable. you knock it down, and you can bring it with you when you move. This is a good solution for people who rent, or move a lot.

As for buckleberry, I got her from insituorchids on eBay. He (she?) sells a lot of bulbophyllums. There are still divisions of the same plant in 6" pots. This was in a 10" hanging basket. And yeah, I totally can't wait! This is one of my all time favorite orchids, and I was really pleased (awestruck) with the plant I was sent. It took 35 dollars to ship, it was that ginormous.

Nice plant, I too can't wait for it to bloom.

It has several nice spikes starting!
