got this one from the little greenhouse on the prairie. has about 20 to 30 bulbs in a 10" pot all with at least 1 new bulb shoot..will need a 12" pot..a total of 6 spikes so far and 1 double bloom ahead of the rest :) Ill get a pic of the whole plant for ye eyes bec I know you all like pics..The guy that sold this one to me I overheard him tell his assistant " we need to start cutting some of these plants"..:) was the best 26 bucks I spent this week. I could divide this one as its about to fall apart anyway its so huge, but I really love the big old established specimen look you get from them .I'm going to to leave it be for now until after its done blooming..then maybe give mom a bulb..I would find it easier to give her a kidney..:(. no really
heh ...:biggrin:

Gorgeous flowers, that colour is fantastic. I love big specimen size plants as well (just don't have any yet), so I can understand you not wanting to split it.

it's a beauty!
nice find!

more royal robe
 

well heres some more pics from me mltassia :)

really nice one.

its going to bloom some more too :) i just noticed 3 more spikes to go with the 3 there already...

Love these and really love the color of this one!

WOW! I love it! Great deal too!

I got one of these at Deep Cut Orchid Show at Dearborn Market in Holmdel, NJ in 2017. Colors vary with this hybrib. Mine is a lighter pink. Does anyone know the light requirements? I want to get one for my Mom who has Full sun veranda in Sarasota, FL :hello

I would think full sun in Sarasota would be far too much for it. For a spot on a full-sun Florida veranda, consider a terete Vanda. You can find them at RF Orchids and Motes Orchids in Homestead.
