how about one that weighed 2 tons? is that big enough for ya?

Grammatophyllum speciosum grows to be the largest orchid in the world...


Ive seen some huge dendrobiums but not 2 tons worth in one pot

here they are repotting a small 300 lb specimen. They say its only bloomed twice




all done and no one got left in the plant

Wow now that's an orchid. I wonder why it has only bloomed twice? It looks so healthy. Do they grow on trees? I think they will break the limbs.
