I haven't been there since I worked for him last summer. I should go there soon and see the stinky orchid.

That's a cool idea and a great use for a webcam. A company I worked for last summer had a webcam set up in the lobby. :boring: <--Sorry, I couldn't find an emoticon so I had to improvise...

thanks for the heads up :-dance:

Howdy Traci welcome! Thanks for the link, I get to see and smell these quite often where I work. They are bit stinky. I actually got to see a Titan Arum(Corpse Flower) bloom and stink out in Wisonsin a few years back. Very cool!

Hey Tadd, it looks like Pete's not the only one with oompa-loompas :-dance: :-dance: :-dance: in their factory.

Trade secret! :Shh:

They must be working in shifts. Is there a union for the Oompas Loompas? I think they are running a sweat shop :poke: :lol:

Hi Tadd, thanks for the welcome. Where do you work that you get to smell the funk? Opps, I'm asking TMI, sorry, I'm just curious. When I lived in Cali, one of those huge corpse flowers was in flower. I was pregnant at the time and had horrible morning sickness, so seeing it in person wasn't an option. :therethere:

I work/ volunteer at Carolina Orchids in Fort Mill SC. He has thousands of bulbos(kind of his specialty) and he must have 10 or 12 large Bulb phaleonopsis in his greenhouses. He has lot of the longer/ bigger bulbos all over the place. They are not quite as aromatic as a Corpse flower, or even an echonolabium, but they do smell bad(to us) heaven to flies and bugs.

Tadd isn't kidding when I visited Carolina Orchids I got to get up close with those huge bulbo's Would love to own one like that some day they really look huge in person. Tadd gets to repot those monsters. and does a good job of I might add. Ray

Tadd are they like this?

Thanks Ray I try... Paphjoint, those are really nice looking plants! Are they yours? Yeah we grow our bulbos in big hanging bulb pans with sphag. We have one that has a leafspan of about 5 feet.

No, they are not mine, I wish they were, I have 6 or seven plant but they are much smaller, they biggest one I got is about 30 inches (approx 80 cm)
Picture was taken in Northen Europe all plants grown in rockwool mix.


Do you also grow the beccarrii plant? They are among my favourites as well

Yeah we have few beccarii I am not sure of there size off hand. He has a fletcherianum that Fred/ Ray really liked, it will be blooming this week I believe. I will have to take some photos.
