Seidenfadenia mitrata

[SlipperFan]

This plant has very long leaves, and very very long roots. I think there might be two plants combined as one: look at the two flower spikes and flowers and let me know what you think.

That's crazy!!! Lovely! Yes, could be 2 plants IMO...

 

[Stone]

Nice!! I gotta get one of those.

Hard to tell if two plants but either way very well grown. Are the flowers fragrant? I have had one mounted for a few years but no luck getting it to bloom. Any suggestions?

Beautiful flowers, but who can tell if it's two plants with all
those roots. Be careful not to hang yourself! All those roots look aggressive and dangerous to me. I love that handy purple landing
platform for pollinators.

One of the best I've seen,

 

[Lanmark]

Impressively bloomed and beautiful!

 

[Secundino]

Just amazing beautiful - well grown, congrats! Could well be two plants from the looks of spike and flowers.

So beautiful!

 

[naoki]

Nicely grown as usual! How long are the leaves?

 

[Hamlet]

Beautiful, I've always liked the combination of white and purple in flowers.

Fantastically grown!

I can't claim the growing or flowering, as it was in spike when I purchased it at the Chicagoland Orchid Festival a couple weeks ago. It's from Natt's Orchids, and they had lots of them. I think they got them from Taiwan, but I'm not sure.

I understand they like moderate light and warm temperatures. The leaves are a foot or so long, and the roots are even longer. There is a slight fragrance.

Now that I see this, I am getting excited. I have a plant that I have been struggling with for a number of years, and at long last it looks like it might bloom. Very exciting, I hope it is as attractive as yours.
Definitely looks like two clones (not that I am any expert)

That's a nice show:clap:

The difference in the lip width and shape seems consistent, so along with the difference in the spike length and density I think it could be 2 plants. I would be far less sure if they hadn't shared identical care and conditions.

Care and conditions that are obviously up to your usual standard as well. Very nice.
