I have a big-ole Schomb on a palm tree and it is covered in spikes. Last year I had two dozen spikes blooming, and they were 5 feet long, and more.
After this mild winter in S. Florida, and some extra care.. I should have an even more spectacular display..
My Schombs-A-Poppin !!
I have half of my orchids blooming right now.. Even this ancient plant that I inherited from a deceased neighbor.. Only God knows how old this plant is...
