The first half dozen blooms have now opened, and the plant should have a fairly impressive display once the other thirty or so buds open. This is the first D. nobile that I've ever grown, so I'm not positive which variety it is. But I think it's probably just the standard type. The two largest growths, which are a little over 24" (61 cm) tall, are the ones in bud right now (a couple of the more scrawny and older pseudobulbs are also producing a few buds).
