Wow!! Thats one huge and happy orchid!!!!!! From this distance, to me, it could be anything with a pseudobulb. Maybe a Catt type.

No, Tin - look at those old flower spikes. Looks like a very large Encyclia type to me

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

If I remember correctly they were small yellow flowers, I really wasn't into orchids then.

OK, i was wrong. The pic posted previously was also by you, flhiker, and was a Cat. (bowringiana??). But, different tree, location, etc.
Im too bold i guess. Id just go up and knock on the door and ask if they knew what it was. Either they too are orchid lovers, or just happened to purchase a home with monster cats growing on them. |
