Hi Steve. This should fit in your collection. The plant shown is in a 4-inch clay pot. The inflorescence is 13 inches long and the largest leaf is 16 inches tall. I hope the weather on the mainland is treating you and your plants well.

Hmmmm, I might have to find one of these guys! The weather is hot, but my orchids are all growing like weeds with the heat (100+) and the extra water and fertilizer. I'm a little surprised at how well they are doing actually!

Thanks Warren for researching the nomenclature. I did not realize prismatocarpum had so many synonyms.
