Dendrobium kingianums
I have had the first plant for years. It fills an eight inch pot and the only blooms that I have ever gotten are on small keikis. The large canes make the beginning of spikes and when they about 3/4" they dry up. I would get rid of it but I like the flower so well that getting just a few makes it worth growing.
The second plant is a miniature that produces growths that are about 5" tall. This is the only spike with open flowers. There are three more showing on the other growths so if they make it, it should be in bloom for a while. The flowers on the small plant are actually larger tlhan those on the large plant.
The third plant is Den. pierardii. A reliable bloomer. Mine is a little early this year. My parishii and loddigesii are just starting to break buds.
