Dendrobium normanbyense bud watch
I thought I had made a thread about this, but apparently, I forgot. 
Not much of a bud watch I'm afraid, since I haven't been here for a while (again).
This is how far the first of its two spikes has gotten now (I absolutely love those spots/freckles!):
The picture was taken this Monday, and the "oldest" of these buds, is turning white!  |

Nice. Can't wait to see them at anthesis.

Alright, the buds have developed further, and I LOVE them. 
They are turning whiter and whiter (not visible in this picture, since it was some days ago since I took it) and the spots are a wonderful violet colour, and there are so many of them!

I love those spots. I'm also looking forward to seeing the flowers. They look awesome in pictures, so seeing them IRL is going to be an experience.  |

All buds have now opened, but this photo is from when the first flower had been open for a couple of days. I've noticed that it turns more and more white as it ages, so I'll update this thread after some time have passed.
I'm very happy with my little normanbyense, and I'm wondering if I've gotten hold of an unusually spotted one (I'm calling it Spot now).

Are you ready? It is a small species! I fell in love with the Dend atroviolaceum, but wouldn't get one since it gets so big. Then it turned out that it had a small relative, looking exactly like the atroviolaceum, but much smaller, so I had to get one.
Mine, which has about 11 bulbs (most of them are smaller than the new ones, though), stands in a 3.1" (8 cm) pot, and the plant is about 4.7" high (12 cm). I doubt it'll get that much bigger. Now, go and get one!  |

It sort of reminds me of latouria plants.
I have to say I absolutely love that bright purple lining of the lip.
