The range of variation in these flowers is astounding. With such variety, how can you choose a favourite? I have been through this thread numerous times, and each time I seem to come up with a new 'best'.

Hi Rick
For this particular plant, flower DS 4.5 cm. leaf lenth 40 cm

Is this one of yours?

This plant is beautiful.

My plant has been growing very well with the feeding changes, so I wanted to compare some plant sizes with those of the exul Masters:wink:

As you may seen from my previous post
The is much variant, from 10 cm long leaf up to 60 cm.
Phuket AM/AOS is one of the most largest foliage (unfortunately not the flower)

This plant is 'Chia-ra-nai' AM/RHT
One of the largest flower, rounded, thick which its beautiful flower can last more than 2 months in very hot climate

Too bad, this exhibit is not mind but belong to my senior friend who chairs Krabi Orchid club
The plant was named after his family name.

What does this translate to Poozcard?

BTW the longest leaves on my plant are about 30 cm. So about in the middle of all the variation.

Means 'to cut' or 'polish' (use with diamond or gemstone)

Poozcard, Thankyou for the wonderful pictures! Many beautiful plants. I notice that the pots have a lot of stones, Do you grow in 100% stones or is there some organic material in the mix? Thanks.

I normally use pumice stone + pine bark while some of those Southern growers do use soil + styrofoam and it goes very well

I am not dare to use soil but thinking to add some of soil when repot this year.

That ventral is too distinctive to confuse with gratixianums. The more I look at this thread, the more I want to find a flask of these!

 

[poozcard]

Making flask of exul is very difficult
But we are trying

Sorry, after reading other threads, I am no no longer convinced of anything, so please disregard my comments, I obviously have a great deal more to learn
