Phaius tankervilliae

[Paul Mc]

Oh my! What do you have it planted on that can accomodate so many?

Looks great Bev! Great show for sure!

I just realized that I started this thread in the Cattleya alliance. Whoops!

Steve, that is why you will see pics of my Phaius in the Misc. forum, too.
The plant is in a 12" pot. I am considering repotting it this year because it is starting to get too big for this one. The only preoccupation I have is not getting the pot so big I cannot lift it.
And...thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Yes Steve, you should have put it in the "Miscellaneous" because the Genus Phaius (which means dark, swarthy) belongs to the Calanthe Alliance!

In my defense, this was originally posted a few years back. I may have been drinking at the time. After all, how am I supposed to get the wine corks I need to grow my orchids??
