This is the flower I wanted to show you. Its giant size tree / plant . No shade or shade cloth needed .
They can grow or climb freely around a tree .
One flower spike is easily one meter long.

Thanks Dorothy for the threads you gave .
I pic up this pic from one of them.

It wont happen that way dear.

They bloom above your head on a tree . WE have to build a tall orchid room for that and grow the dark brown variety.
I do not think you can peep into it bec it grows giant size.
thanks.
