Monster Phal - Baldan's Kaleidoscope

[orchidsarefun]

This has got so big that I almost do not know what to do with it. It just keeps on and on. Its got a spike ( see if you can spot it ), and this will be the first time its flowered 2x in one year. It always has 2 spikes, I will be watching for the other to start...
The roots are airborne, I don't repot them. I did at first but it soon grew others. Its about 5 years old.



meant to say I have had it for 5 years. If I take it as growing 2 leaves per year, sometimes 3 - but lets say 2 - it must be about 8 years old...It was registered in 1990. I generally find that the older ( in terms of when registered ) hybrids have more vigour than the newer ones.
