Giant Orchid Blooms at the BBG
Seems everyone is talking about the Grammatophyllum speciosum (aka: the tiger orchid) growing and blooming at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Originally purchased 10 years ago at auction by the garden's orchid curator, David Horak, the plant rarely blooms in captivity. On top of the recent blooms (which should be around for another week or two), it's now up to 12 feet in diameter and weighs in at around 200 pounds.
