Danie,
Please forgive the LOOONNNG delay in replying. I have taken some pictures of my P. elata. Hope this helps.

How nice. It will be awhile before mine gets that big. Meanwhile, any tips for growing them? Mine came from the seller potted in cut up tree fern. What is yours potted in. Thanks

Hi Beverly,
Mine is potted in a combination of NZ sphagnum, LECA, some fir bark and chunky perlite. I just added some LECA and sphag to the Monterrey phal blend I bought from Repotme. It seems to like it....lots of growth. Although, at the size it is, I would have anticipated seeing a bloom spike by now... Maybe this year? What do you have yours growing in?

Orchids LImited does have them, and for a 6-7 inch pot they want $55...not too bad from what I've heard. I may even pick one up myself! Good luck.
