Phal. schilleriana
I almost wish I had never mounted this. It's grown into a monster! I had to hang it off the side of another plant on the windowsill so I could control the spike. The spikes' total length is about 2 1/2 feet.

And to top it off, for some reason when I got this plant I thought schilleriana would produce a white flower.

Pay attention for a scent in the warming hours of the mid to late morning. Mine has a lovely tea rose scent.
