Default Dendrobium Nora Tokunaga

I've had this plant for a few years. It has never been out of bloom, although this is the best show.

It's really easy to look after, kept in an east window and watered twice a week.

I would definitely recommend it. Individual flowers last 4 or 5 months, it blooms off old canes that don't lose their leaves and it doesn't require a winter rest.

Hey jcec, that is a wonderful plant you have there. I have only had mine for a month but I was lucky to have gotten a flowering one. Mine only has a couple of flowers at the moment so I can't wait for mine to get as nice as yours.
I just love the Atroviolaceum crosses and am just starting out with them but I think I need to focus more on the Normanbyense crosses as they stay distinctly smaller.
I got the Nora Tokunaga because I thought it was a cross of Normanbyense with Rhodostrictum but mine is fairly large like yours so I am suspecting it is Atroviolaceum (not the pigmy form) x rhodostrictum but I have never grown the latter - I know it is very big so maybe that affects it (it is obviously not too large but it bigger than Den. Atroviolaceum)..

I am happy to see you growing yours in an east window in the UK. What temperatures do you usually have in summer and winter. if I may ask.

I was going to give it more warmth but I don't have the space so is sitting in my window too at the moment, but in Winter it goes down to 14 degrees by the window in that spot - can you advise me what to your knowledge the lowest temps it gets at yours? I might be able to free some space in my phalaenopsis overwintering box if it has no flower spikes if that is too low for it.

The flower form is interesting in that the top flower petals are reversed with the patterning on the back side making them appear white from the front.
Mine has no fragrance, I have not yet flowered an Atroviolaceum but I thought it had some fragrance. There seems to be some varying information on this. What about yours?

Thanks for showing it to us.

It reminds me of my Den FireWings... which also blooms forever. Yourr Nora appears to have very uplifted blooms, and most of them I looked at are more droopy, like Little Atro. Which is what I don't care for with my Little Atro. Does it always have such upright blooms?

hey ww,
mine point upwards too, like said the petals are reversed so instead of pointing forwards and down they point backwards and up.

Good to know. I'll go search for one!

It's fairly small only in a 3 inch pot and probably about 7 inches tall maximum.

As for temperatures - I haven't specifically measured the room it is in, but the thermostat is set for 20C during the day and 16C at night - it's a victorian house so it never rises above 20C even in the summer, it definitely hits 16C in the winter.

It has no fragrance.

I have recently acquired Nora Tokunaga x aberrans which is much smaller in stature and supposedly fragrant but it hasn't bloomed yet so time will hopefully tell.

Yes the blooms are always this upright, so you can see right into them, I saw your dendrobium post and thought it looked the same other than the droopy blooms.

Yeah, that was Little Atro if you're talking about the recent one. I think any Firewings post I put up is at least a couple or three years old.
