Phragmipedium longifolium
This species is HUGE and grows like a weed. It has been in bloom for two years now and still blooming. I'm a little tired of seeing it in bloom. The blooms are large about 8-10 inches wide.

Thanks, lja! The cats recently did a very good job at shredding the leaves. But the plant is vigorously growing more new growths and growing like crazy. It is about 4 ft or more in LS.

Cool! I'll be up your way in a few days with a forklift!It is about 4 ft or more in LS.
(See how thoughtful I'm being?)

When it's time for me to divide it, maybe we can do another trade or something.
OrchidTalk Tech Admin
LOL! I'm just messing with you. But another trade when you divide it sounds good!

That's a nice one. It makes my Paph. Bel Royal (36" LS) seem like a compact plant. (And that's hard to do...)

Thanks, Jason. I think it is the largest plant in my collection. My Paph kolopakingii at 30" and the leaves at about 2 1/2" wide is the largest among my Paphs but still too young to bloom I guess..

30"? A mere baby! I know someone who has a mature kolo specimen that checks in with a 6 or 7 foot LS. So much for growing anything else...

OMG! I know they get huge but never heard of one that size. Wow, a true monster! I noticed that my kolopakingii grows much faster than the other multi florals.Originally posted by Jmoney

I would love to see the recently discovered gigantifolium, heard they are about the same size as kolopakingii or slightly larger.
