Impressive. Cultivar name suggestion....'Moose'.

The size and health of the monster is impressive, but I'm
not quite sure about the sniffing possibilities...whew!

I smell something awful. Lovely plant though

 

[bigleaf]

Dont' know what's going on. I did not pollinate these flowers - and now there are 3 seedpods

Most than likely I will remove them. This plant is long overdue to be divided.

Photos from October this year

Getting ready to bloom again this year.

Very nice, Peter. So are the fruits and the wilted flowers from the same inflorescence of Jan 2016? How long did the flowers last?

 

[SlipperFan]

Oooooo -- must be a selfing, or a very busy fly.

I've never seen this species in person, but now I noticed the size of the pseudobulbs. It looks like that they could be as big as avogados!

Hi Naoki, this is second flowering this year. It usually bloom twice a year. Pseudobulbs are large like avogados.

very nice i do not know how you have managed to contain it level in a pot and hanging. its a outstanding species i always grow this on bark and we had a large one that we ended up having to build its own cage for as it got so big took two of use to lift it.
