Been quiet a few flower over the last few years, I would love to have and grow a few.
Big news in USA a few years ago and a couple finished up in Jail over the so called importation of a few newly discovered but yet unindentified plants

holy moly that's quite the flower! i'd heard about these, but had never seen one sitting next to another phrag so you could compare sizes. it really is huge!

There is a kovachii in one of the displays at the NHOS. I asked the guy how much and he said the price was in the 4 digit range He asked me how many I wanted Told him I would have to work for free for the rest of my life in his greenhouse.

kovachii is huge and makes the others look small in comparison.

Been on my wish list for a couple of years now. Maybe this is the year I will get one.

Thanks for sharing!

It is magnificent! I think it just made my list, but maybe not until it is a bit less expensive.

Always astounded by kovachii! PipingRock Orchids grows them pretty successfully.
