Dendrobium NOID
Hi all,
I recieved this one as a gift from my wife's orchid growing family member in the Dominican Republic. It was tiny little thing and a 4 years later I finally got the message (thank you Orchid Board) that it should get a rest period. So from November till late February I stopped watering, occasionally misting the exposed roots from time to time. The result was 9 blooms.
The blooms don't seem to open all the way, not sure if its supposed to be like that or not. The flowers have a faint raspberry scent.
I've had so much luck with Dendrobiums this year that they are quickly becoming a favourite alliance of mine.
Can anyone ID this?
