Guarianthe bowringiana
Had to show this one taken at a friends 40 foot greenhouse. At the top the plant is nearly 5 feet across, this is after he had to reduce the size of the plant, so that he could get it through the door, to take to a show.

Your friend has grown this to perfection Bernard, it's an absolute MONSTER.

a true specimen
Guarianthe bowringiana has to be right up there with some of the best of all the orchids to choose to turn into a specimen plant. And this one is surely proof of that!
I have seen some magnificent Dendrobium speciosums but having also seen my Guarianthe bowringiana versus a largish Dendrobium speciosum I had I believe the bowringiana would win hands down.
What a magnificent plant!
