My daughter lives in Atlanta and on our visit this summer we went to the
Atlanta Botanical Gardens. My wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for orchids
but enjoys the flowers I bring into the house. Much to my delight she asked
if I ever got one like she saw at ABG and was most impressed with. So I'm on
the hunt for this one.

Grammatophyllum scriptum. I actually saw one in spike at a grocery store a
few months ago, sometimes weird stuff pops up among all the normal phal
hybrids. These aren't small plants, and I think they take a lot of light.
If you have the right conditions they can put on quite a show.
Unfortunately it's not something I could grow easily under lights, so I just
admire them at the garden.

Thanks. I looked at the video I shot and saw the spike had to be 5 foot
long! I'll try and find a look alike that is a little smaller.
