larger than normal spike on trichocentrum undulatum
 

I was walking around this morning and realized all my trichocentrums were spiking but I spotted that the largest and oldest one I had that had leaves measuring 18 inches had a spike about 1 and a half cenitmeters! I've never seen a spike that thick on a trichocentrum before normally the spikes would be half or three quarter centimeters. Can't wait to seem what happens next, will keep you guys updated:D

Leaf compared to my hand

Congratulations! Trichocentrums are capable of producing some very large flower spikes. Please post a picture when it blooms.

alright, will do.

:muahaha: That's a monster.

WOW! That's huge! I'll be looking forward to seeing the pics of it in bloom.

Heres an average size spike of a trichocentrum.

Heck yeah, I'm interested in seeing this bloom! Great job. That leaf is pretty big too. :)

hey guys, i havent been on orchid board for awhile but i had time so i took pics of the trichocentrum blooms, The spike is more than 5 feet long with more than 300 blooms. The spike is so heavy it started to drop and reach the floor si i had to tie the spike to the tree.

FANTASTIC!
