Dendrobium Burana Pearl, Sonia, Burana Pink in bloom

[NYCorchidman]

I love the bright red purple color these blooms have.

Burana Pearl has flowers that are as large and round as white phalaenopsis. I've never seen such big flowers on dendrobiums.

Sonia earsakul also has large flowers, double the size of what I had last year. and as always, it is sweetly scented.

Burana Pink had two spikes, but the second one accidently got broken off. well, well,,,

Thanks!
They need high light to grow and flower well. and water and fertilizer while in growth mode. The rest is up to the plants.

Some of them flowered earlier in the summer time, but most are flowering and spiking now.

I have large south/south west facing windows with sheer net curtain drawn against them. Dendrobiums and cattleyas are placed closest to the windows along with some oncidiums and other houseplants.
Phalaenopsis, paphiopedilums and miltoniopsis are sitting on seperate stands near the windows.
Some mini phals and paphs that are not in bloom are under LED light.
A few tolumnias are hanging by the window.

There are always something in bloom throughout the year, but spring and fall are the main flower season it seems.

I bought my sonia at a local florist. They are so common as cut flowers but not so common at all as a potted plant.

Oh, that sounds great!
My older clone had a better shape. The balanced star shape as opposed to the droopy bottom sepals on this plant, but the flower size is just so big on this clone so even with just a few flowers on the spike, the effect is quite something.

Are any of the fragrant? I used to have phal den that was fragrant. Loved it.
