Dendrobium NobIle flowing now!

[Sunset]

I bought this plant last year full of flowers and all the stems had a lot of leaves. Like I read here it didn't finish the growing period. The flowers passed. We had a nice fall warm and rainy and I had the plant in full sun and keep it outside until it was frost danger. Had it inside over winter in a basement window. The plant still with leaves. I got three flowers after I bring it upstairs and starts watering.
I took it outside this spring and all loosed all the leaves. So no growing season. Now after a few weeks with big rain at almost every two or three days this plant is full of flower buds!!!!!!!! What I do wrong with it? What I am suppose to do now? Keep it in the full sun? Bring it inside? Place it on shade spot?

Great job! I think you did things right, not wrong. I would leave it where it is. It seems happy there.

Post pictures of the flowers.....

Its season is just a bit out of whack... Normally they lose some leaves in winter (if warm, may not lose them all) then flower, especially on the older leafless canes. The cycle of light, heat, and watering (and reduction thereof) is not quite what it gets in nature. But clearly it is getting what it needs. And giving you what you want - flowers. So don't mess with success, keep on doing what you're doing.

Commercial growers routinely adjust conditions to get flowers when they want them, you have just stumbled upon a formula that gets you flowers at an unusual season. Enjoy!

Here are some pictures from today. I counted 15 buds. Some of the them have a centimeter and other ones are small only few milimeters

Beautiful! I look forward to seeing them when they open!

I got weird flowering on mine too, it bloomed around December or January like it was supposed to and then lower down on the canes with a few more flowers in early June.

I am back with an update:

I have open flowers and green buds and dry buds and keiki.I am wondering if some of the buds changed from flowers to keiki because of the weather changed.

I think it is just going back to a more normal growth cycle. Those keikis are likely more like branching growths - which themselves are likely to bloom next year. Just let them be...Very pretty flowers, by the way.
