Dendrobium goldschmidtianum (photos fail me)
Hi,
My Dendrobium goldschmidtianum is in bloom! Clusters of ~10 blooms form on leafless pseudobulbs. No scent.
It has such an intense neon purple hue but I'm unable to capture it with my camera.

VERY nice!! this plant is on my short list of Must Haves...do you have it growing vertically up or are the canes hanging down?

Initially, I had it staked up but I've let it grow freely now. The psuedobulbs grow close and the flowers and leaves can get crowded.
Plus, the canes tend to grow up, then begin to bend to the side as it matures, and flowers on its side. New canes grow in the spaces that's opened up. It's programmed well so I've let it do its thing now. |

Jeff - Gorgeous species, and well photographed. Not only is the color intensity hard to capture, I think that the flowers have a gloss that reflects light, making it even harder. Mine I think is its cool-growing little brother... Den miyakei is supposedly a synonym, but it's smaller and grows outside, has those fluorescent flowers though - I think goldschmidtianum grows warmer. Do you grow yours in greenhouse or inside in winter? Clearly, you're making it very happy!

Thanks. You're right, Den. goldschmidtianum (and Den. x usitae) has a gloss that makes it difficult to photograph. It really has a nice glow under light though!
I've always grown this one inside (70-80oF) since I read it was a warm-growing species.The first few growths have been about a foot tall but the newer growths are getting consecutively taller.
How do you grow your Den. miyakei? How tall is it?

Also...
A psuedobulb from Den. goldschmidtianum fell off during my move in August. It didn't have any roots but I kept it in a cup filled with water. It's actually is blooming now.
I guess don't give up on rootless dendrobiums.... It may surprise you...!
