16 spikes this year so it has put on quite a show. Now I just have to find a bigger pot as the growths are flowing over the edge.

A bit heavy although the bark is large and chunky so I'm just able to carry it without too much trouble. But it needs to go in a much larger pot next time which will make it more difficult .
Not really. It comes from South America. It can be grown a bit cool though down to a point. I have generally had it in my glasshouse with my Paphs. But it has got so big I won't be able to keep it there much longer. I did have it outside last autumn where the temps were getting down to near zero. This seemed to initiate this spiking.

In the glasshouse it gets the same light as the multi-floral Paphs. I think some clones are just very reluctant to flower. My father has a Brassia that is just massive. Way bigger than mine. I have never seen a flower on it. My verracosa flowers very easily every year.
I got a small division (3 or so growths) from a local orchid member maybe about 8 years ago. It is a good grower.

Maybe one day. I just have to flower it at the right time. It normally flowers around Chrismas time which makes it difficult to get it judged. It flowered a bit earlier this year as I had it outside in Autumn and then put it in the heated glasshouse which triggered all these spikes.
About 40 cm (16 inches). It is hard to appreciate from the photo how big the plant is. The spikes are about 70cm.
