sorry, i just assumed people would know the abbreviation. it's a Grammatophyllum. this one is a miniature (about 7 inches/18 cm), most of them are quite large (4 to 20 feet/1 to 6 m).

I have a mini grammatophyllum, named Yunan Tiger. It never stop flowering in any situation, but fullsun most likely

Gramm scriptum requires full sun (yes, full sun!) and is a very heavy feeder in terms of both water and fertilizer when in growth. When its not growing, water less until you see new growth.

I've never seen one of this before... it's a great plant!!!!

thanks, Erly and Steve. i'll try full sun with lots of water and fertilizer.

beto, Grammatophylums are some of my favorite orchids, but i don't have room for the larger ones here. this is the first time i've found miniatures at a reasonable price.

I like it very pretty ! I didn't know there was a mini Gramm.
I have the large one it is a space hog . Gin
