Rhynchostylis gigantea
This is a spotted gigantea blooming for the first time for me. It is growing in a 6-inch plastic basket with orchid bark as the media.

That's a dark beauty. Just love these. Hope to see my gigantea's in bloom this winter, as usual. BTW, I also use those plastic net baskets for many of my plants.

Mel, those are really fantastic. The coloration is brilliant. And, even better, your plant has decided to reproduce itself!

The flowers have a slight fragrance. The gigantea is hung with my Vandas under 50% shade. The plants are watered in the morning and late afternoon. They are fertilized once per week. |
