This multifloral hybrid is a fast grower and gets quite large very quickly.

Damn fine photo! Geesh...wish mine came out so well. My Grande is growing well...:) thanks!!!

Very nice Grande! Do you have any pics to show how long the petals get?
Apparently both of mine are now Wossner Supergrandes...I hope they bloom soon. I love the caudatum/warscewiczianum dominant Grandes, my 'Jody Rae' seems to be more longifolium dominant, but my 'Joe Miller Cox' is very warscewiczianum dominant luckily.
Great photo, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Heather and Jon! Jon, if you scroll down, you'll see another pic of my Grande that I had posted a few days ago. My Grande has very large flowers with big pouches and I think the longest petals were around 14" long. I also like the caudatum dominant Grande. I have seen many different kinds of Grandes but this is the one I'm still very impressed with. So, I just had to have one for my collection. :)

I like, I have a few seedlings of Grande and I'm real glad to see that they grow quickly :-dance:

Absolutey gorgeous!

Very nice Peter, need more of those long petals plants :lol:

Excellent! :-dance:

This plant is in bloom again with 2 open flowers and 2 buds. The flowers are as usual large and the petals are still growing, currently the petals are 10 inches long and will reach to around 15 inches or so. This plant is a vigorous very fast growing Grande and never seems to stop growing, even when it was divided last year while in spike!

Gorgeous!
Thanks for posting Peter, I like it very much!
Oh, and that division of mine is doing just GREAT!
I think it should be ready to spike any time now. :D

I think my favorite of all th phrag hybrids is either Grande or Mediation. Nice photo again Pete!

I really like this one, are they easy to take care of or do they need special care?

Thanks for the nice comments!

Gideon, Grande is a very easy growing hybrid and the one I have is the golden multifloral variety and very fast growing. They do get very large with very tall spikes and the flowers are gigantic!

Here is another shot of the flowers outdoors.

The flowers are huge and they turn more golden as they age. Thanks for looking! :D

Lovely - what's that bush in back of it? Just curious!

Thanks! That is not a bush, it is a huge Dendrobium spectablis. :lol:

Hehehe! I thought it looked like a dend, but I forgot you had one of those! Silly me!

Yes, that is the only Dendrobium species I have in my collection. :roll:

I like the grande 'o' natural pic!

Yes, I too love your au naturale pics, Peter! Thanks!
