Dendrobium senile finally blooms !!!
Hello everybody !!!
So after failed attempts at growing this plant it seems that I finally got it right !!! I've had this particular one for 3 years now. Last year it set buds but they blasted but this year lo and behold I got blooms !!!

Awesome, this one is so cool even without blooms, but of course, with them, it is even better!

Thank you all for your replies !!! The only thing that I can think of that I did differently is give it more light. Other than that everything else was pretty much the same.

Those are fantastic. I really like those fuzzy pseudobulbs, and they offset the lemon-yellow blooms quite nicely.

Fantastic!!! I got one just a few months ago. I had to have it. I think the senile is irresistable in all its' fluffy weirdness.
Well grown!
So they flower from old, leafless canes...? Good to know.

They were actually leafed until about 2 months ago. Then they went leafless and now they bloomed. Comes another 2 months or so I should be starting to see at least 2 or 3 new growths.
