Rhynchostylis gigantea 'speckle'

I too am in love with this! I suppose it needs lots of heat and sun? It is gorgeous! How big are the flowers?

Beautiful blooms! How big is the plant?

Each flowers are ~1.5'" and the leaf span of the plant is ~1.5'. I guess it can get much taller like other Vandaceous plants.

I think I'll have to agree with you on this, this one is stunning.

Is there a possibility to forbid members to post pictures of gorgeous orchids? I've started to find more and more genera I want to try after my Phals. It's quite unhealthy for my wallet.

My god this is beautiful!!!

Thank you everyone for nice comments. As of today, all of the flowers are still intact and they smell wonderful.

Oh wow. I've been looking at vandaceous orchids lately as I don't have any and would really love to try growing one. I haven't come across one with purple spots like yours. Very pretty. I might look for one like it.
