    This flowered for me last year in June. I took the POS out to the GH to capture it, and in the process, I broke the spike. Though I didn't discover that until the next day. So... all I have are a couple of crappy images. Can anyone verify that this is longicaudatum? If not, can someone maybe point me toward a definite ID? Thx.

    Hi Jon,
    It looks a lot like longicaudatum. The size seems about right too. Although yours may be slightly larger. The thickening on the end of the caudae is much greater in yours too. I originally got the identification from Garay, so I'm confident of the name on mine.
