Found this today at a friend's greenhouse. Needless to say... it came home with me! Pretty interesting plant, and blooms. Kind of reminds me of a Grammatophyllum.

Of course you brought it home, Aaron - it's a BIG plant!

There's a lot of variation in the spotting in this species, from none to heavy. I like your flower!

The accepted name is Aslla. gigantea var. nilotica 'Waunakee' AM/AOS. Hope you don't mind my nit-picking. I always like to get the tag right.

I like this one too! Nice dark spots on the flower tips.

Cheers!

It is indeed an oustanding clone of this species! Very nice contrast and the yellow color is crisp!
Cheers. Hoa.
