Dendrobium Aussie Chip
(aberrans x atroviolaceum)
I love this 'little' plant! (small in stature, but has become quite bushy - getting hard to manage on my small windowsills despite only being in a 4 inch pot!)
Blooms great every year! Gets a lot of little 'nodding' blooms. Blooms on previously bloomed canes, and blooms last a long time!
(spots on foliage are damage from a spray I used last year *sigh* especially upsetting to me as previously was one of my few orchids with almost pristine foliage; looks better than it did, as the most damaged leaves have fallen off)
Please excuse some very poor photographs - I tried getting some pix to show as many blooms as possible, and I either ended up cutting off some, or getting blurry pix 
Thanks for looking  |

Thanks Joann, Josh, silken, Bud 
silken - I totally recommend getting one of these! Grows fast, gets LOTS of blooms, and I think it's just a cheery plant. I also think it looks quite nice out of bloom.
I got this when I decided to venture into Dens - I always felt intimidated by them lol - this one helped cure me of that!
Bud - can you guess I'm not a divider? lol This grows fast - - I found a pic from when I got it three years ago  |

How beautiful!
Aussie Chip went on my wishlist years ago, but can't find it here. But I recetnly found a grower that has something similar; Den aberrans x polysema
