This grand old lady is so big.....and so old, that I can't supply it perfect growing conditions. This year, only 1 spike but the blooms have a deeper colour. Its a perfect beginner plant as it blooms faithfully, sometimes 2x per year and the blooms last forever. This spike is probably 3-4 feet long and has about 22 flowers.

Amazing roots it has there. Looks to be crawling out of its pot. How do you manage to keep it from tipping over? I have a large Phal. growing out of a basket in a similar fashion.
