Bulbophyllum sp. 'Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry’
A tropical orchid featuring broad, leathery foliage approximately 7 inches long and about 2 inches wide, with a small, distinctive pseudo-bulb. This plant should be kept consistently moist and is typically grown either in bark or mounted on a tree to mimic its natural environment. Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry is a remarkable primary hybrid between Cirrhopetalum longissimum and Cirrhopetalum rothschildianum, recognized with the prestigious FCC award from the American Orchid Society—truly an outstanding flower. The main body of the flower boasts dusky-red stripes over a delicate pale peach base color, while the lip stands out with a vibrant, rosy-pink hue. This orchid thrives well in greenhouse conditions, as one might expect, but it also adapts successfully to outdoor growing environments. It is temperature tolerant and typically blooms from November through December.
