Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth ann jean/ buckleberry
 

:wavingJust became the proud new owner of a Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth ann jean orchid. In trying to understand the genesis of this plant I consistently came across the Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry variety. Both are listed as being hybrids of Cirr. rothschildianum and Cirr. longissimum. Whats the difference? Are they the same plant?

Hi, Tulasi! 'Buckleberry' and 'Jean' are two different clonal names given to different plants of the same hybrid: Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann. They may have slightly different physical characteristics, but in terms of culture and care, they should be treated the same.

Ah, makes perfect sense. Thank you.
