I agree, the photos are excellent and show it off really well (so much so, I'm sure we can all forgive the delay in posting them!!

)

This makes me think of warm sea breezes and tropical splendor. Brenda Aarts is right that is one big orchid! May I ask how old it is? Happy Holidays! AL

This plant was filling up most of an 8 inch basket with spag. I got it as a large seedling in a 4 inch pot (not filling it) about 2 or 3 years ago. I had all but given up on it blooming, then it did!! Gorgeous plant, but I sold it because I am moving to Texas from Hawaii and had to cut my collection down from 160 to like 30 plants!! lol I'll definitely grab another when I get to the mainland.

Wow, those will be different growing conditions for you! Good luck with the move. Must have been difficult weening down to 30 plants!
