Default Gastrochilus acutifolius
I got this plant a couple months ago as a TC to the Gastrochillus japonicus project plant. It developed the spike after I received it. The plant spike & flower is HUGE compared to the japonicus.(about the same size of a mini phal I would say) I also acquired other Gastros.. my excuse is, I just find them alot easier to grow than other species in my I/W growing conditions they don't seem to be too fussy either...
