Yours are just stunning with so many buds! Jealous:-))))
This looks nice because the cane is so short.
There are "only" about 18 flowers. average of 3 flowers per spike, and there are 6.

I once saw a thread by a member in Miami. she had tons of beautifully grown dendrobiums, including Yamamoto nobile hybrids.
So, I'm sure you will get good blooms.
You want to keep these out of the rain once the canes mature though.

They will need some cool nights before showing spikes, although I have no clue what triggered these guys to bloom so early this year.
They bloomed around February this year, which is the norm here.

oh, well, can't complain I guess.

Thanks!
Will see, trying to protect them from rain as much as possible, thanks God, since beginning of December we finally have our DRY SEASON and no rain or very short weak. We had only one cold night around 50's, and last 2 nights in lower 60's, so will see:-) They do not get watered and no fertilizer since September, so they should be having what they need except cold weather:-)

Good thing that the rain is off.
The weather will only get cooler until January or so, right?
I hope you will get good bloom.

Cooler Yeah, I mean, we have sometimes some cold front passing and there may be few nights in the law in 50's, but again, this year, as unusual was summer and fall with all that rain, now they say we have unusual hot winter, the temps are pretty much some 10 degrees above our winter average, so who knows, we may get few colder nights and few colder days, but so far it is hot like hell:-)

Thanks!
Flowers are long gone now, but a new cane has been growing big since December, and it is now sending out lots of roots at its base.
