Default Bulbophyllum Opening

I know Cirr Elizabeth Ann has made the rounds here and some of you have plants that make mine pale by comparison but this is the first year I have had 5 spikes on this plant... the most ever! One hasn't opened fully and is on the other side of the pot.








This is the 1st flowering for me of something I received about a month ago. I sure didn't notice a spike when I got it but am thrilled to see a very nice flower....

I had to take just one more pic to show the long threads.... don't know why I didn't show this flower hanging to begin with.... And I corrected my typo. The correct clonal name is Buckleberry.

I'm just feeling my way with Bulbophyllum with the help of other forum members... currently, I grow this in a pot with bark/CHC mix, intermediate to warm temps, moist not wet and lots of light.

Wow. I always love seeing the pics of these and that last one with the tails is fantastic.

I want to try these one day but I'm still feeling my way with some others first and don't want to have too many at once that I don't really know what to do with.
