I have seen a picture of a Phal equestris and her kiekies taking over the
side of a house in the Philippines. The plant in this picture makes my
plant look like a seedling.

here is a link to the picture mentioned by J Fortuna, of the equestris
hanging in my greenhouse for people in this newsgroup who don't get apbo.
I
do call it the "mother of all equestris" (because it is made from one
plant
and many of her kiekies pinned back onto the basket over the years ) and
I
would proudly admit it is 'specimen size' but truly it is not as big as
they
can get, and this plant, in a 16 inch basket, has developed a bad case of
rabbit's foot fern in the last few years. It is also very true that one
could make a case that this is not a specimen at all but lots of plants in
a
single basket, albeit all from one original plant. After all these years
many of the inflorescences that once connected them have died off leaving
the rooted kiekies to make more babies of their own. For CCM
consideration,
this is a no-no, isn't it?

I know that there are some plants about which there is no doubt that
they
are specimen size (for example: Al's Equestris Mom, the picture of which
Al
posted on abpo a while ago).
