Large tree mount blooming
 
Hi all, I posted this picture a few months ago, it has started to bloom. The owner said it would bloom around Fathers Day. He also started a couple of new mounts. Anyone able to identify it?

I am not so much jealous of the plant as the fact he can grow plants this size outdoors. Wow!

:D I was wondering about this recenlty! I remember seeing your original post on it, Dave :clap:

Thanks for the update...I'd say it's definitely a Schom but couldn't say which one. I'm sure one of our other members will come up with the name :)

Such an awesome plant!

WOW! That's a huge specimen! This one is Myrmecohpila tibicinis... Myrmecophila is the segregate genus for 'hollow-bulbed' Schomburgkia.
