Default Serpents In The GH

Well not exactly serpents, rather the beginning of Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry'. After seeing some of the pics on this board of other Bulb/Cirr,I know this isn't very impressive but this is the 1st time this has spiked for me and I've been waiting 2 yrs! So I'm pretty excited. Thanks for looking....

Thumbs up

Not impressive -- YET!

I think it's really cool. Just be patient. Try to take a picture a day. Seeing the development is really neat, especially with Bubos. Way to go!

p.s. check out my avatar. it looked very similar to this one in spike.

Here's what you'll be seeing next:

just a question... is Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' a smelly one? I mean, a stinky one?

He means a 'stinker'


It is exciting to see an orchid bloom after having it for such a long time ..
I'm still waiting on quite a few, myself
Congrats on your success

Yeah. Kind of a light rotting flesh aroma. Mine was labeled as Bulbophyllum Eliz. Anne. Maybe pretty close.

Some stinkers only scent for a few days .. maybe you'll be lucky .. you can always cover it with a glass cloche (bell jar) until it stops emitting it's pungent odor ..
