[OGD] Grammatophyllums

[Jose A. Izquierdo]

In Puerto Rico, the "miniature" Gramatophyllums tend to be placed either on tree fern logs and /or slated baskets.   I have seen Gramatophyllum speciousum grown  in "baskets set on the floor and made with cinder blocks  and lined with material that allows drainage, the best one I have seen is grown in a pot .  A friend made an album of the plant that can be seen at  http://community.webshots.com/album/58901890bpvzPO  As you can see the pot is not that big. :)     She also has an album that shows some of the "miniature" ones  being exhibited at a local flower fair. That album can be seen at:   http://community.webshots.com/album/157740806cEOSOt (Slides 12 and 15)   Enjoy the sights.   Jose
