Dendrobium Mini Zengyo

[WhiteRabbit]

... or so the tag says - not registered

Blooms are very similar to my Den. bigibbum v compactum, canes are taller and leafier tho.

Another where the color is hard to capture - you can see the difference under different light ( bright shade vs bright sun). Actual color is more vivid.

Five spikes, tho three have only a few buds/blooms - but the other two are quite nice

Thanks for looking

Very nice! I have a similar one, but it's not blooming

Very floriferous! I only have a couple of these bigibbum type but I seem to blast buds when they are a good size and the leaves get spotted and fall off. Not sure what I do wrong!

Yours is lovely!

Beautiful flowers, I have one that is in spike now but is nowhere the size of yours.This is the second year it has bloomed for me.

WOW! Beautiful plant and loads of flowers.
It obviously loves how you treat it.

This is a spectacular display of blooms...I love the vivid colors....it seems like a Biggibum compactum, but the canes are long....

thanks silken - I know I left mine outside too late into the year last year (just grew it indoors this year), and did have some buds blast, blooms didn't last long at all, and the (at the time) most recently matured canes lost all their foliage These don't seem to much like being a bit chilly at night at all - don't know if that's a possibility in your case ?

Our summer days are warm, but I suppose you could say the nights are cool-maybe 60F or 65F in summer. They live in the greenhouse. Maybe they should be on a heat mat at all times!
