Bulbophyllum elisae outcross #2774 ('Jesup' x 'Judy') (approximately 25 seedlings per flask). This is a cross between a clone with long lateral spepals and one with short lateral sepals.

The Species: It is an Australian species that grows at elevations from 1350 to 4300 feet. The spike can be from 3 to 8" long and have 5 to 12 of the 1" flowers. This is a rare and highly desireable species that is interesting in or out of bloom. The pseudobulbs are distinctive and are reminescence of a pineapple. The last image shows a seedling of Bulbophyllum elisae showing the texture of the pseudobulbs.

Culture: I grow this species in cool-intermediate to cool conditions with moderately bright light.To encourage blooming, give it a drier, cooler and brighter winter rest. It does well for me on a horizontal cork mount with little or no moss. During the growing season, it gets daily water with dilute fertilizer and is dry or approaching dry before the next watering.
