Wow! Wish I even had room for something like that - have you had it judged? Looks to me as though it would deserve at least a CCM.

| It's funny isn't it. I have a "Red River" which is a similar Australian hybrid, though nowhere near as big as this (!) and it is also a prolific flowerer and yet Dend.kingianum, which most people say is easy, barely flowers at all for me. |

| This plant is astonishing. I see that there are some very nice cymbidiums there too! Nice job! |

| How old is that monster, or better yet how long have you had it? |

Thanks.
Ive had it for about 15-17 years.I bought it in a 2 inch plastic pot for about 2.50
I just removed the flower stems and counted about 256 spikes with about 6-10 flowers on each.
