Den. kingianum, Blue Ribbon PHS show
First prize at the Philadelphia Flower Show ongoing now. The fragrance is wonderful. We had 9 inches of snow so they had no problem keeping it cool 
This is the one orchid I would have liked to take home.

 Wow, that plant is so huge, and absolutely gorgeous!!  It certainly deserved first prize! Any idea what the spike count is on this monster?

Very nice specimen plant there. No world record though as this is the way we accept as normal here in Australia.

Wish mine looked even half that good. Mine is quite small, only about 4 canes, but it looks like she is just trying to put some spikes out this week.
