Pick this up today when my only pupose at the local orchid shop was to get a bag of sphagnum! I am a sucker for a good deal! So which type do you think this one could be? I am leaning towards Tigers Paw. I think she gave me the type but I forgot, I will reach out next week but thought I would give you guys a shot.

Looks very much like Yunnan Tiger.
I'm not sure but it is a nice one congratulations.
Thanks, it even has three seed pods on it! I have no idea how to germinate them, unfortunately!
I agree with Yew Sung. Yunnan Tiger 'compactum'
I repotted it today, I used a large pot that I drilled holes into. I know that pot is large but I am ok if it spends a lot of time growing roots and foliage. I am using the stock pot as a humidity tray, I have it filled about half way with water. I figure the evaporation will keep the roots moist but not wet and soggy. Once the roots start to establish themselves I will take it off the pot. This Houston summer should allow for a lot of evaporation.

I finally made it back to the LOS that I bought it at and she said it is a Leopard.
Lovely Grammatophyllum orchid bloom. Looks nice repotted.
cheers,

Thanks Bruce. I like large plants so hoping it devotes more time filling out that pot than flowering. I know that is backwards thinking to most but I like foliage.

excellent potting
