We study the behavior of unbounded global orbits in a class of strongly monotone semiflows and give a criterion for the existence of orbits with periodic growth. We also prove the uniqueness and asymptotic stability of such orbits. We apply our results to a certain class of nonlinear parabolic equations including a weakly anisotropic curvature flow in a two-dimensional annulus and show the convergence of the solutions to a periodically growing solution which grows up in infinite time changing its profile time-periodically.
