The albino variant of Grammatophyllum multiflorum Lindl. 1838, a very large orchid species native to the Philippines, sprouts up to 100 green orchid flowers on an inflorescence, which can reach a length of up to 1,50 meter. The botanical name confused us, as the impressive green Grammatophyllum orchid is called Grammatophyllum multiflorum var. multiflorum and not as expected Grammatophyllum multiflorum var. alba. The epiphytic growing Grammatophyllum multiflorum orchids, related to Cymbidium orchids, are one of the longest flowering orchids known, as the tropical plant can stay in bloom for about 9 month. Grammatophyllum multiflorum requires a hot and humid climate with a lot of sun. Single flowers reach a size of about 5 cm.
Flowering period: Spring-Autumn.
