hard to get a picture of these without standing on yer head and I didnt feel like getting rush getting back up

smells wonderful to boot..the largest 2 canes have spikes yet to bloom while the rest of the canes have bloomed as you can see..

I love the colors on this flower. The shapes, textures and form also very desirable to be in my collection.

Love these! Yours looks like the pygmy variety ?
good growing!

I don't know if it would be pygmy. It would seem rather tall with 2 12" canes as the tallest to be the pygmy variation.

I found it odd that the smaller canes bloomed 1st. Oh boy must be lots of them little buds baking in the dendrobium oven.

here the whole plant. Excuse my orchid "Iron Maiden". He was in a fitting for a cocohusk container to hang on the wall..I can get more orchids if I hang them on the walls too.

completed Iron Maiden filled with a Cirrhopetalum auratum'Other World' and got 5 new bulbs on that one

Okay, I had to like this one as well. It's simply too cool to overlook and those colours are just fantabulous!

I also understand that it must be tricky to get a decent picture of those flowers considering they seem to like looking down on things.

Gorgeous!!

I had no idea that this was a fragrant Den! This is a Den that I drool over ever single time that someone posts a pic of it, but I have yet to search for one for myself....

Nice to idea to hang orchids from the walls, you can grow a lot more orchids that way!!
