Default Schomburgkia tibicinis - the plant

Yes perfect Chris & good growing. I forgot to mention that mine had been in the greenhouse for some time, sort of
stunted. Also they are call Myrmecophila now.

Hi, all,

My Schm. tibicinis is also in bloom, but I don't know if it is 'normal'. I
measured the bloom spike and it is 38 1/4 inches for the tip of the bulb to
the lowest flower. Is the length to be expected?

I got a division last year at a local orchid society workshop. This is the
first time that it has bloomed for me.

It is on a piece of cork but decided to just put it in a wooden basket &
voilla! He likes it!
