We should have made this one of the choices for contest number 4!  Oh! Yeah... that was supposed to be mini, sorry. Maybe contest number 5. |

This plant made a similar showing a few years back. I can't recall the show, but it stunned people then. I don't recall seeing how the plant was transported that last time.

I can't open the page with photo. I'm sure this is spectacular, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for giving an exact flower count!

OK, I got it open! This speciosum looks even bigger than the one from the Honolulu show a few years back

Hey, I saw that plant!
It was the center piece at the SB orchid show. I wonder how many years it took to get like that. I've seen some big displays but that one was just amazing!

The dendrobium speciosum in the Honolulu show was said to be more than 50 years old!
