Den. bigibbum v. compactum (and friend!) in bloom

[WhiteRabbit]

Mounted Den. bigibbum v. compactum, and two small keikis I removed and potted (1.5" and 1.75" clay pots) this spring. (first 3 photos)
Blooms on the keikis are as large as on the parent, despite the keiki canes being only half as big (or less!)

Also, a similar looking Den-phal hybrid (4th photo) - very floriferous! It keeps getting turned (grows on a narrow windowsill) to accommodate the length of the spikes as they grow ... so, very difficult to photograph The plant I've attached photos of (5" clay pot) has already finished blooming on two spikes, has three spikes (I think blooming), as well as three spikes with unopened buds). I also have a smaller division (2.5" plastic pot - 5 canes, I think?) with 3 nice blooming spikes, and a couple more spikes with unopened buds) ... it's a happy hybrid

Both are hard to get correct color in photos - they are both the common orchid color of purpley-pink/pinkish purple, tho quite nice, vivid, saturated color.



Thanks for looking
