    Default Blc Ports of Paradise Emerald Isle

    This is a very very large plant, outgrowing it's 10 inch pot and unable to fit on my light shelves any longer. I'll be dividing it after blooming is over. Sorry the photos aren't better. There is another sheath with buds on the other side of the plant. Wonderful citrus and lily fragrance, very appropriate for a green bloom.

    I have a (NOID)green in bloom that looks exactly like yours, it has rather sprawling growth. Perhaps they are related.

    It's very beautiful. Is it very hardy and easy to grow? How many times a year does it bloom? What are your plans for all the new divisions?

    It blooms at this time each year for me. I expect that as usual, when I divide my catts later this spring, the divisions will be available on Orchid Bids.

    very very nice floof. it really reminds me of the species Rynchostylis digbyana which no doubt would be in it's parentage...
