Default The Giants of the Back Porch

These photos are from about a month ago, I finally found the memory card I had them on. The paphs are still in bloom, but they are starting to fall, and the vanda's flowers were done about a week ago. These are three of the giants in my collection. Vanda Gordon Dillon giants-back-porch-v.-gordon-dillon.jpgdangles about 5 feet from root to tip,giants-back-porch-102_0400.jpg while Paph. stonei 'Maybrook' x Paph. kolopakingii 'Krull-Smith' giants-back-porch-paphs.jpgtowers along side of Paph. kolopakingii 'Krull-Smith' x Paph. praestans. Both have multi-floral inflorescense reaching 36-38 inches.giants-back-porch-102_0336.jpg
