Female
Default Giganteum - She did it - 5 blooms
This is the first blooming for this (phrag. Grande 4N X phrag. caudatum var. sanderae). I kept taking pictures, 2 blooms, 3 blooms, 4 blooms. I can't believe that they all hung on until the last one opened.

I bought this in a 3" pot in the fall of 2005. She is growing in S/H under high light. There are no more buds.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

WOW!! Grandma, that is amazing!!

I have a giganteum (Phrag. caudatum var. warscewiczianum x Phrag. Grande) that I can only hope someday will be as awesome as yours.

You must be giving her exactly what she wants.
Wonderful growing!!
