Very interesting... Maybe thaianum is a species which naturally has high propensity to produce multiple spikes from the same growth..

Apparently there are some more out of the new colony that is currently being collected ( and was mixed that time with plants of both leucochilum for those I have seen in Bangkok two weeks ago). Those look nicer than the original collection.

Hmm , maybe, maybe not

Thai friends have told me this species has been in cultivation for some time, more than 15 years some say, but it was largely regarded as poor form of niveum and thus ignored by most.

There are flasked plants bloomed here now.. some growers are trying to make better forms. I have seen line breds here that have had more than one bloom.

Roth, I last week saw a hybrid with leucochilum (collected) in Jatujak for sale. They do overlap, but it was distinctly a hybrid and not a straight thaianum.
