Dendrobium speciosum (It's spring!)
My Den. speciosums are starting to put on a show, about 2-3 weeks later than usual. I attribute it to a cool winter preceded by a cool summer and fall. The big one on the right is Den. speciosum var. speciosum. The white one in back is a cross of Den speciosum var. hillii 'Don Brown ' (a huge plant) x Den. speciosum var. curvicale (the most compact form) The one with all the buds is a primary hybrid of Den. speciosum x Den. (big) x Den. gracilicaule (miniature) to give a reasonably-sized plant with lots of flowers. I'll post that one when it blooms, probably in a week or two.
