G'day mate, yes, some of the "phallys" last up to 4 months. They don't usually have a scent, so they keep the flowers for long periods to help in fertilization. Also, their natural habitat is dese forest that is fairly gloomy, and that is another reason they hold flowers so long.
I have a white dendrobium that has flowers lasting 6 months.
