    Default Cymbydium atropurpurea

    I got the division from the wild growing over rain tree in Perak 4 years ago very huge plant with the leaf span more than 3 feet. I dont know what it is recently thorough away 4 spikes although the color is not purely black but I'm very happy with the awesome smell like coconut. First time bloomed for me. Now looking for all black.

    Indeed under tropical climate they multiplied so fast I have to cut and donated to my friends as the pot getting more heavier.

    I concur with you I'm thinking to remove it and attach to the tree to support them later. I wish for the next season should have more spikes.Thanks Jack.
