I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
I was surprised about a week ago when I went outside and found that Odontcidium Tyler Ku 'Ben Berliner' was developing an inflorescence. In that short amount of time it has grown to be over 2' long and is still in its early stage of development! I have never bloomed this before and I am not sure how big it is going to get. This, along with most of my current collection, was a generous gift from Bob Hamilton and John Leathers. This particular plant came from the back corner of their greenhouse where all of the plants have an impressive number of flowers on massive spikes. I am excited to see where this goes but I am also nervous that I am not going to have enough space. I currently have this in my 4' high shade house on my patio. To give you a sense of scale, the mesh in the background has a 1/2" spacing.
