I don't have any, but I'd love to. I'll try to get one.

Where can you buy them?....Jean

I have found some on Ebay before. You can check around online. Just be careful who you buy from. Make sure they have a good reputation if you do. Also you can google and search for them that way.

Wow

Such gorgeous Dens. I love them, but don't grow any like this.

Very impressive! I've always wanted to try one of these. I kept killing my phal dens until I put them in s/h.
I don't have room for a 4 ft. den, but I sure would like to find room if it blooms all year!

Queen Cobra has been at the top of my want list for awhile

. The color does it for me. Lovely photo.

Vanda lover, there are small ones- they may not be blooming year round (though they may well try when well grown), but you won't have to name them Audrey II either. I saw a blooming carronii that was no more than 3" at a show; my canaliculatum is in heavy spike and is perhaps 5" no more than 6" from base of pbulbs to tip of leaves; my antennatum goes around 18" though it's gangly (the other 2 mentioned have neat compact growth). Any hybrids I've seen with these species also tend to be smaller.

That sounds promising! I'll have a look and see what the new orchid grower has. He'll be at a show in a few weeks.

I only got a couple of antelope dendrobiums and they're still young plants, but my Dendrobium Nicola deBruyne-Choon x Bobby Mesina'Blue' did produce a spike with a handful of flowers this summer as a preview. My Queen Cobra does not look like she's about to flower this season.

I've been cameraless for several months, but took some pics with my husbands phone and finally got him to download them lol.
This is gouldii. No cultivar given when I bought it. The tips really are almost black.
