Bulbophyllum Cirr Elizabth Ann
So I just bought my first orchid in this group, Cirr. Elizabth Ann . The plant is being shipped bare root and I dont know what to use for media. I have seen it growing in moss in a basket...does this sound right? I mostly grow masdevallias and dracula so a plant that likes light and hot conditions is something new to me...Thanks for the help.

My bulbos are growing in NZ Sphagnum in my orchidarium where they get high humidity and stay fairly wet. Don't recognize your new acquisition but someone will.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I cant believe that I have stumped everyone! The plant is here, I planted it in a basket with Sphagnum moss. Thats how I have seen them in the past but there is not much online about the culture. I could still use your suggestions just as a double check.

Jeremy, This is best grown in a hanging basket where the flowers can penetrate the sides or base. Grow it in sphagnum moss or a mixture of moss and bark.

According to the Link posted:
" Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' is quite vigorous in growing and blooming. I bought this plant as a five-growth division in 1995, and now it has numerous leads which produced 397 flowers in the fall of 2002. The plant does very well planted in a hanging wooden basket with New Zealand sphagnum moss. The plant is kept moist at all times and fertilized routinely with a balanced fertilizer. Each spring, the plant receives a moderate dose of blood meal, which really seems to boost the growth. Culture includes bright indirect light (2000 to 3000 footcandles), temperatures 65 to 90F, and humidity 70 to 90%.
Blood meal!!?? I've never heard of this before? Can anyone explain?

Blood fish & Bone
A fine ground, organic-based fertilizer, enriched with potash and other plant nutrients to give a complete balanced feed. Encourages strong and healthy root and top growth and is ideal for use throughout the garden.
B F B is a very slow release fertiliser so i dont know how you would feed to a mounted plant,normaly you would sprinkle it on the garden and let it wash down with the rain or put it in hole when you are planting trees or shrubs

I have both Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' and Cirr. Elizabeth Ann 'Jean'. To me they are VERY cool plants to have! 
Bulb's and Cirr's are soooooooooo easy to grow and flower...you shouldn't have a problem. I keep mine in NZ sphagnum and in shallow pots...water them often. They only need low light.
Good luck!
