    The close-up is from a few years ago and the plant image is from this past winter. Because of the tendency of this species to climb I like to grow this with a backing of cork or a tree fern totem behind it.

    Thanks, folks.

    Tom, the longest single leaf is 10" from rhizome to tip. Most are 8 to 9".

    Perhaps we could give this a common name 'Flying Spaghetti Monster Orchid'.
