Grammatophylum scriptum var. kiilani
 
Who else has this plant, how long have you had it, and what is the condition of the plant, foliage, inflorescences and flowers?
Here's my story (and I'm stickin' to it)...in March of '07, almost everyone in our orchid society got one of these miniature grammatophylums. After asking around, I may be the only one with it still living.
In any case, mine has undergone some weird changes, and I wonder if it is some genetic glitch that goes along with its dwarfed size: the leaves grow out kind of crinkly, the inflorescences tend to curl around, rather than grow straight, and the flowers are not nearly so large as they were. In short, it has slowly morphed into a not-very-lovely plant, with disappointing foliage and flowers.
I do have the 'regular' scriptum, a big honking monster, and grow them the same. The monster remains monstrous/grows ever larger, and never disappoints (so it has that going for it).
Any thoughts from others with this creature?
Thanks - Nancy
