I like that. Such great flowers. I don't think I would have resisted either.

This is a great Den, I have it myself. I bought it last winter in bloom, the flowers lasted a month... but the flowers that started to open the last week of December are still nice fresh looking, even in my livingroom they last long! Easy to grow! Hope it puts out as many new growths for you as mine did... (and does now).

Jerry (from this forum) told me not to stop watering during the colder winterrest, so I kept watering despite nobile hybrids normally need to go dry during the cold rest - after I started watering again it didn't loose leafs anymore, but also gave me only flowers, no keiki's. Seems pretty easy to grow!

Great find! I still hope to find other colors from these Yamamoto Dendrobiums.

This is a closeup at the flowers...maybe this NOID Nobile even has a name? Anyone?

Does it have a pink flush in the heart of the blooms?

I can see some pinkish colour, like in your picture, on the flowers that are in the top of the plant. The ones "below the middle of the plant" are only white and green.

That was the same with my plant previous bloom (previous winter) when I bought it in bloom. Sounds like you have the same plant.
This year every bloom has the pink blush... just inspected my plant in high light, and guess what
The oldest blooms, now at least 7 weeks on the plant, don't have the pink blush anymore, also the green in the center has faded, hardly visible. It still has some pink showing on the petals/sepals, which is more prominent in the blooms that opened later. Last year it had some pink on the petals/sepals too but not as clearly as this year, however I didn't spot it on the first blooms that opened, when they opened. Seems that for my plant the blooms become more evenly white when they age.
