A specimen plant of this species.
The photo was taken at a local orchid show.

Another plant. The clone name is Heiti Jacobs.

I have an alba form of this one. Has not yet flowered for me. I got it in rough shape and it is rehabbing.

You got to be kidding me! That's amazing. I've seen some pretty big specimens of C. Skinneri Hetie Jacobs around here in South Florida, but I've never seen one that big. Thanks for posting the picture.

That is amazing! I've seen it in Costa Rica, where it is widely grown and I've never seen one anywhere near that size.

In Taiwan, some orchids are grown to such big size for orchid shows. These plants are mostly from orchid nurseries.
