Any guesses as to what it is ? Grande ?

 

[Jorch]

Doesn't look like a Grande? Most Grandes have darker color pouch and twisting petals..

I don't know what it is.. but the first name that came to my mind is Mont Fallu

I think pearcei-type x caudatum type........Eric

Paul Eugene Conroy? I agree that Grande has a darker pouch.

Looks a lot like Phrag Macrochilum. Phragweb has some good pics of it and this fits the bill well, I think. The petals are much better here than the pics also.

Roy, That was my guess too, because I have one and mine looks almost identical. Plus I got mine where this one came from. Here is mine :

Gilda, they're a bit easier to identify than the red ones. I like this one a lot. There probably are plants of it down here but not seen very often. Would love to get my hands on a plant. Any chance of e-mailing me a piece???

Wouldn't it be a piece be toast by the time it got through customs and cost a fortune to mail to boot ??

Correct, a grower I know imported 500 big plants from an asian nursery and got 300 out of quarantine. Its not worth the effort.

I do have a friend visiting your country in January...maybe she could sneak a piece on board the plane.:wink:

Phrag. Macropchilum, eh? Another for my wish list -- I love the striped petals that fade to pink. And so long...

Not worth the risk, thanks anyway. Our customs & Quarantine go thru baggage pretty well. Flasks not a problem as long as they are declared and inspected + fee.
If you know anyone with flasks of P. tigrinum :drool:
