Silken, the bulbs on mine are right up next to each other, very little space between them. The leaves are big and wide, very different from my Lovely Elizabeth and medusae, whose leaves look very much alike.

You can pronounce it any way you want and don't let anyone tell you different. The only 'correct' way would be in the original Latin and I don't think there are too many Latin scholars in the orchid world.
I speak Spanish and French, two languages that descend directly from Latin, but my mother tongue is American English, so I break down the syllables in a Latin way but employ an Americanized pronunciation:
"bulb-oh-file-um eh-key-no-lay-bee-um".
By the way I just bought an already-bloomed one of these in August and I am super excited for any signs of a spike. When might I start hoping to see one?
