Dendrobium nobile hybrids blooming early
So these guys normally bloom around February into April for me, but this year, they all decided to bloom in the early winter I guess.
We had some early cold snap back in October, but that was only about two weeks or so, and my windowsill doesn't get that cold.
I am surprised how nice the blooming on Spring Dream 'Kumiko' (the white/pink one), heavily loaded on two tall canes.
You can see Oriental Smile 'Fantasy' (which is my favorite) also in bloom in the back. The flowering isn't nearly as nice as the pink one, but better than last years performance.
In between the two are Sea Mary 'Snow King' also coming into spiking, although it doesn't show in the picture.
I have one more of these Yamamoto nobile hybrids, Country Girl 'Warabeuta' bought in bloom at a show in February this year, which is also coming into spiking.
This one is very short variety, so I've been stiking the whole plant in the fridge every night. The spiking is getting better and better. yay!!!
