    Oops. I reread my response to your picture. I was actually so impressed with the non-blooming Maxie that I didn’t pay much attention to what I wrote. You’re blooming plant is a very pretty hybrid Cattleya.

    When I mentioned the maxillaria, I was referring to the plant in the background of your last photo. Max tenuifolia grows into such a graceful plant.

    i don’t try the grow the schomburgkias, just don’t have space for the real large growers. A gentleman in our OS has one with a spike so tall that he used a tall ladder last year to climb up and take a picture. His wife took a photo of him risking ‘life and limb’ just to photo the blooms.

      Nope, I bought it without a name on it, but i's beautiful. A lot of the orchids I have, came without names on them. Every time I clean my orchids, I give some of this one away. I gave my neighbors, and about 4 friends in the past. I saw my neighbors the other day, it is huge, and when it flowers, she has a lot more flowers. This is the first year it flowered so much. Going to let mines get bigger now. I love orchids. With the hurricane, I lost about 4 of them., along with about 6 trees.

      I’m glad it was spared. You have a really pretty plant that I’m guessing to be the Maxillaria ??? (Senior moment) coconut plant. Tenuifolia. I have a seedling plant. Hope it grows up to be like yours.

      I do have the coconut orchid, but it's not the one that flowered. The coconut orchid is to the right of the flowered one, and it does smells like coconut when flowered. I don't have a picture of it right now, but the flower is a lot smaller.

      I also love this one, usually flowers around Mother's Day.


      I really love all orchids.

      I went to an orchid place the other day, saw this one, and said to myself, I had to buy it later. I have a lot of orchids throughout my yard, and don't always remember the ones I have. I was very happy to see this flowering in my garden, and more happy that I didn't buy it again.

      Beautiful!

      How old is the plant? I love the size and number of spikes.

      it certainly likes growing on that tree!

      I've had it about 5 years, give or take. It was bigger, but the tree it was attached to, fell with the hurricane. I took some pieces off, and gave them to some friends. I must admit, it never flowered This much before. I didn't even see that it was going to flower. I was sitting in my back terrace, and saw it from afar. I have other ones that are going to flower soon, will post when they do.
