A note with crosses with phillipinense, the lower sepals grow till they touch something. Once they come in contact with something(thinking they hit the ground) they stop enlongating. They grow very long to enable their natural polinators(ants I believe) to travel from the ground directly to the flower. I have seen many people stake these up offset to the plant so they have a clear path to keep growing, and usually in a tall pot or on a stand to get the full extent of the flower.
