Great growing Ronan. I'm a bit jealous!:drool:

That kolo is beautiful! I got kolopakingii var. topperi x sib ('Jeanie's Green Giant' x 'Jamboree' HCC/AOS) from Sam a little over a year ago. I sure hope mine looks like yours in a few years.

 

[Stone]

Wow!

Cat pee? Really??

That's a wonderfully grown plant with a beautiful spike!!

I have one related to the 'magnifico' clone that I'm hoping will bloom soon.

very nice bloom Ronan!
Exactly the same cross I have from Sam. Now close to be a monster plant (1m leaf span), but it will continue to grow bigger... lol
So be aware the new growth should be about that size in a year and a half!! :evil:

 

[SlipperFan]

Very well done. ...
Look how wide the leaves are!

Wow, what a leaf!!

My sentiments, also!

Very nice kolo. You don't see these that often. I love this species and I have not found one yet. The flowers look clean with nice color.

Bill Porter (Porter's Orchids) still has a few v. topperi plants.
