Lc. “Gold Digger” Orchid Jungle

[Duck Slipper]

I don’t know how many flowers or inflorescences this dude has. Over three foot across and it has gotten too difficult to move. There are flowers behind on the shady side and underneath.
A very hard working plant. Quit watering in the fall for a month or so and as soon as you start watering…BAM!

Incredible hybrid and stunning specimen sized plant! Well done. I bet it's even more impressive in person.

Is this hybrid fragrant?

I can’t smell anything. I don’t have a good sniffer…But when I look up this hybrid it is listed as fragrant.

Too big to bring in for judging? (get a truck?)

Stunning display How old?

 

[Duck Slipper]

It is a very fast growing hybrid. The original plant was a single bloom single growth plant that I bought from a lady growing and selling orchids in an old gas station probably 20 years ago. I have sold divisions, given away divisions many times.

Love to see specimen sized plants. This is a beauty.

Impressive to say the least! When you can’t pick it up any more I guess that is good thing?

 

[monocotman]

Just stunning and the foliage looks very healthy.

Beautiful!
I had a Gold Digger almost that big a while back. I donated it to a fundraiser. I wish I had kept a chunk. It was a favorite.

Oh! My! Goodness! That is incredible. You need to bring the judging team to your greenhouse!
