Dendrobium tetragonum - Orchid Board

My Den tetragonum has started to flower again. I've not got as many flowers as I did last year (I ended up with nearly 50 then!) but 5 of the seven canes have flower spikes. Not all of the flower are open, and two canes are still tight buds, so this baby should be in bloom for quite some time!

The last time you saw this plant, I had taken it out of the pot it came in and mounted it on cork. That was a huge improvement.

Here is last year's thread:
Dendrobium tetragonum

Since then, I have found the perfect (I think!) bonsai pot for it.

That pot looks perfect!!
I feel in love with your plant when you posted pics last blooming. I've got to get one of these as a TC for the next project plant!

Thanks everyone! I love this Den - it is just so different. And in this pot, it is like a centerpiece all year 'round, not just when it is in flower. Like I said only 20 or so flower this year, so not as many as last year, but I still think it makes just as nice a display!

I was a bit disappointed that more flowers weren't open last weekend when we had our local orchid society meeting. It meant that I couldn't enter this one in the show table competition. (However, I took it anyway!)

Sue, how is your one doing?

Very nice. Your container makes a beautiful presentation.

I have two of them now, one is giganteum, but they're both pouting

Not sure what the problem is but they seem to be "stuck" on not doing anything

We'll see what happens when the weather gets nicer
