Longest Sandy petal?

[Kenny]

Does anyone know how long the longest sanderianum petal is? Not the added petals and flowers. I have one that opened about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it has 1 flower (out of 3) at 102cm and still growing.
And if it is a record, does it mean anything, should I do something about it?

This is the photo section, Kenny. Please show us a photograph.

Also, check the Guiness Book of World Records for the world record sandie; owned by Zephyrus Orchids....clonal name 'Rapunzel' AM/AOS.

102 is very good

'101' is the clonal name for the longest petaled plant I know of

Yes, that would be approaching the "agreed-upon" limit of what sanderianum can currently do.

It's about 41 inches today.

I think that WR was for all the flowers combined.
