Phalaenopsis gigantea

[catasetum-ian]

one of the flower is near to full bloom but couldn't wait to post.....seems like orchid cultivation has yet to help me to cultivate my patience. haha

will post again when full bloom but i hope that all the buds would have the chance to bloom together

It is a wonderful Phal species, Ian. Is it fairly new to your collection?

been with me for two years plus to three.
when i first purchased it, it came with two leaves about three inches plus to four each . but the roots were super long, three feet plus if i am not mistaken because the seller was suspending the plant with just a wire hanger and the roots were more than below my waist line from where they are hanging( above my eye level). super straight roots and i still remember having a hard time putting them in my car, being extremely careful not to break it.
after a year plus with me it suffered from crown rot but luckily manage to save it in time =D
