Rhynchostylis gigantea alba

[rogerman]

My Rhyn. collection is very similar.... First year flowering and the flowers are absolutely nothing to write home about..... Second flowering is an improvement but third is a huge improvement.....Typically for the Rhyn varieties they are VERY slow growers and only flower once a year

Peter, I would have thought in your area they would grow very well. At least I'm not on my own, thanks.

They're beautiful, Roy, and the plant should put on a stunning display once it matures. How do you like the scent?

It's beautiful, especially being white. I think i need to try one of these. Does it get quite tall?

Marilyn, I definitely wouldn't be concerned about them getting too big. Maybe in 20 years of growing in great conditions would I worry about size.

In a word...different. Not unpleasant though.

Roy, 20 years from now????????? I just had my 78th birthday. In 20 years it will not matter to me how tall it is. I think I will try one. Now to decide which color to buy.

Marilyn, I'm not sure how expensive they are over there but I would get one of each, Red, White & Spotted. Over here, depending on which nursery you go to is whether you pay too much or not. I would think around $30 would get you a good flowering size plant.
RF Orchids have the orange form for $49.95 blooming size.
Natts's has them listed at $20 - &30.
Smileys has a range at $45 - $55 blooming size.
