Dendrobium amethystoglossum

I have way too many of these, but it's lovely this time of year when they are all showing off. Still waiting on Duncan's huge plant to bloom and anxious to see the flowers, as the buds on his are much greener/pinker than the color of mine.

That looks great! Mine is still fast asleep. How harsh of a winter do you give yours and how much light when actively growing?

The diversity of Dendrobiums never ceases to amaze me. This is gorgeous!

The majority of the plants were hanging in the shade house which got covered in plastic for the winter. So bright light and it did get fairly cold out there and even the ones hanging on the outside East section of the greenhouse, that really didn't get to feel the heater, seemed to pull through okay and they probably got several hours of 30's for a bunch of days.

How much water do they get during dormancy? Is it as dry as anosmum or more like loddigesii (ie. more wet)? Thanks!
