Rhy gigantea season
Rhy gigantea is in my top 5 of favorite species. Rebuilding my collection, I currently have 8, of which 4 are spiking. I took photos of the first two today.
I also have a number of intergeneric hybrids with Rhy gigantea in the background. Notably Van. Azure (x V. coerulea), which is also shown here.
Van. Pinky (x V. falcata) will bloom in another 4-6 weeks. I have 4 of those, so photos will follow.
