| new acquisition
Just bought this Otaara Jane Fumiye 'Hawaii' AM/AOS. It had already lost one flower, but it still has one and it was so pretty that I just had to have it. I found mixed culture info online for Otaara. I should treat it like a Catt, right?

tom - I agree with you... worrying indeed. My father and brother are heading over to Thailand on a mission and it's so tempting to say 'bring me back an orchid'. Since that's not going to happen, I've ordered them to take as many pics as they can!  They will be in somewhat remote areas so they have a good chance of seeing wild orchids. JEALOUS!

Umm, I agree with the above, please clarify what you mean by collected from the jungle. If you mean one that was legally collected by government approved collectors, or a seedling grown from seed collected in the jungle, once again by someone approved to do that, then I think it would be okay. But, if this is some plant that some illegal poacher went an ripped it off of a tree, then is planning on selling it to you, it is going to die. In order to remove one from a tree, they would have to cut ALL of the roots off, and gigantea is one of the slowest growing phals out there, so the plant will somehow have to support several 16+" leaves and then slowly grow new roots, something that is rare even when it is kept in the same climate from which it was taken.

This thread is from *2007*, why in the world is it being trudged up now? The person with a wild collected Phal gigantea would have had it for over 4 years now, dead or alive.
