Grammatophyllum speciosum - abbreviated in horticultural trade as Gram.
Also known as Tiger orchid, giant orchid, sugar cane orchid or queen of the orchids, is
the world's largest orchid. The
pseudobulbs are enveloped by sheaths.-wikipedia
These cylindric
pseudobulbs can grow up to 2.5m.
Each raceme can grow up to a height of 3m,
bearing about eighty flowers of 10cm width. The flowers are yellow colored with
maroon or dark red spots and can remain in bloom for up to two months. They
grow in crotches of large trees and tree stumps- wikia
As for us, we just plant
them in the ground with plenty of sunlight. They well received organic and high
nitrogen content fertilizers.
