Dendrobium lowii
This has been in bloom for quite some time now, the first spike with 4 blooms is long gone, but this current spike with 5 blooms is going strong after 2 months. there are 2 more spikes with buds, one has 5 buds, the other looks like there will be 4. Has a nice soft scent also. I love that it stays in bloom for such a long time.

Great to see your flowers. Mine is starting to bud... Can't wait for the show. How do you grow yours.

Thanks! Right now I have it indoors under bright light. Intermediate temps and even moisture. I watered a bit less in winter, just to the point of drying out. I will be putting it outdoors when temps permits and will be watering more heavily. I fertilize at half strength every third watering.
Andre, how are you growing yours?

I grow mine 10cm from 8 bulb t5 unit... Warmish temperatures and even moisture. It grows in large bark, medium charcoal, perlite, and a tiny bit of moss. The humidity is on the low side, but has not been a problem with my Dendrobiums.
