I didn't buy the one with lots of spikes bec the greenery on this one was just too nice looking to pass on for a few extra blooms now. There were a couple of brown tipped blossom spikes that were coming thru ,but I cut them off after I took the pics. They were tarded or something maybe bec of the fact that this plant weighs about 3 lbs dry and is chock full of bulbage and root. Yes I'm weighing the plants for watering purposes. I wanted to split this one up when I bought it ya know 2 for 1, but when i got it home, it was just too nice a plant to cut up. Unless someone tell me I need to divide in order to get more blooms next time..otherwise this plants going to carry on as is. enjoy!!

Really nice. I wouldn't divide it since I like the specimen look. But maybe I would re-pot it. I don't know much about them though. Maybe they like the tight fit?

I like the specimen look myself of Big PLants!! Re pot yes..I have trouble finding stuff I like to pot them in as I'm still on the fence on pots, containers, plastic, clay . I cant make my mind up..

Nice - looks like a Miltassia (Miltonia x Brassia) perhaps Shelob ... Mtssa. Shelob 'Tolkien', (Mtssa. Olmec x Brassia Edvah Loo), Orchids, orchid, orchids, Orchid Growers
Definitely don't divide if you can manage the size! Or - if you prefer more plants - but I agree - bigger is better. Nice find!
Oh - I should warn you that my Mtssa grows like a weed ...
