Your plant looks very interesting. Reminds me of Spathiphyllum. How are you growing it? I need to try one of these someday!

That is exciting! AKA, the nuns orchid, right? I just about got one back in the spring but had second thoughts since they get so huge. Saw one at the greenhouse and it was bigger that huge. It was the size of a small house!!! The flower display must be amazing.

It's growing in regular potting soil.
These are two not so great pics from last year but you should be able to see the difference in size.

Very nice! Can't wait to see it bloom when it does.
With all the space you got, you should get more giant orchids.
