This one is very hard to take a picture of!
My arms aren't long enough and when I stretch it out as far as I can, I can't stop it from shaking!

The spike is about 2 ft long!

What a beautiful plant and interesting photo. I think it will become a stunning specimen plant.

That is beautiful, I love the colour and the shape of the flowers, now dont go dropping your camera in the pool! I have the same problem taking photos but without stretching my hands quiver and I get lots of photos of blur, some of them can be quite interesting ... can you guess what it is yet

Thanks everybody

This one is growing in a 4" net pot with sphag and it hangs in the shadiest area of the orchid room, which is very close to the floor in there. Just keep it wet and shady and this one has been really super easy to grow
