This isn't an orchid question (unless one is interested in
growing
Grammatophyllum speciosum...), but I thought that some
people on the orchids list might know of an Internet source for very
large, but lightweight, pots - 30-inch diameter or larger. We have
a plant of
Amorphophallus titanum (titan arum or corpse flower)
that we're repotting; I've been planning to build a planter for it, but
have decided that a big pot, even if expensive, might cost less in terms
of materials and time. I've put up some photos of the plant (and
also of
A. bulbifer in flower) on my Flickr site, for anyone who
would like to take a look:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/?saved=1. I'll be
posting further photos later. We're hoping that the next cycle of
growth will produce an inflorescence.
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.
