I bought this Dendrobium Noid from Lowe's last year, February 2013. I think it was the third orchid I had bought up till then, and it was also when I noticed the bag babies for the first time. This one wasn't in a bag baby mesh and had a generic Lowe's plant tag, so I don't even think it was a Better Gro. But the flowers were nice, so I bought it.
It has done very well in my conditions, grew out a new cane almost twice the size of the old cane that had the flowers and tons of new roots. When I bought it, the flowers were much more of a maroon color, but they came out much more purple this time around.
I had actually been thinking of tossing this plant before it re-bloomed for me because I wanted to make room for another, non-Noid Dendrobium, but after seeing these flowers again, it's a keeper. I don't care anymore about noid vs non-noid, it's all about the flowers!
