We live and learn - so the Schomburgkia is now a banana orchid. Oh yes, we also have a coconut orchid; the Tiger orchid of South America which is not the same as the Malaysian Tiger Orchid; the Dove orchid of Panama which grows on the ground and the Pigeon Orchid of Malaysia which grows on the trees.........

Thanks Shane for the info. I must admit the pseudobulbs do look like bananas, though a bit shrivelled, unlike our Malaysian bananas.LOL
