Dendrobium Species Acquisition

[debrasoon]

Wonder if we should try to make this a sticky on Den species. Anyway here is the Den Aloifolium. It has super tiny white flowers. The yellow in the first pic is my plant label. It has some harmless fungal spots on it so it isn't as perfect as the acerosum.

It is the plant on the extreme right of the 4th pic. The plant to the left of the Den aloifolium is a Den Grande.

All these have beautiful foliage and very tiny unusual flowers which are impossible to capture well with the iphone. They are very low maintenance plants, sitting at the back of my house under high heat and humidity conditions. Also the flowers tend to turn up at the ends of what may seem like dead or dying stalks so I always hesitate to trim them.

Thanks Debra. This picture is only 1/5th of my entire growth space. There is a four shelf etagere to the right and two to the left--all full of orchids. I have three more shelves in my screen in porch too. I have no more room! BUT I'm glad you do! Please post pictures of what you acquired.

Some of those are not Dendrobiums...I see quite a few Tolumnia.

Sharp eye, orchid expert Adrienne! There are eleven Tolumnia, a Vanda, my one and only mounted Neofinetia, a Leptotes, two Dendrochilum. I am interested to see if all of these plants can live harmoniously on this "plant stand". (It is actually a rollable store shelf divider--I bought this from a store going out of business. Very sturdy, steel divider on wheels.)

Den pachyphyllum

Den species Sarawak . The leaves are about two inches long.

These were a couple of the new dens. Got a few bulbos and an oncidium too
