Den. normanbyense
This little thing is still with me, despite neglect and general mistreatment. It seems very easy to care for. The pictures are from its second blooming since I got it (I've had it for...eh...some time, which I can't remember), where it got two spikes, the first with four flowers (the pictures), and the second with three. It's in spike again, but with five (!) spikes this time.
I love this little Den. and I'm so happy I managed to get a hold of one.

I highly recommend it, you won't regret it. I never thought it would be such an easy grower or bloomer as it has turned out to be. |

I'll second that this plant is ridiculously easy to grow. I'd have to say it's just as easy as Dendrobium kingianum. Practically almost un-killable.

I discovered two more spikes on this little guy, today. Don't know if they'll develop into something more than just a promise. If they do, it'll have seven spikes this time around...
Love it.  |

Specialty orchid nurseries that deal only with species orchids or nurseries that deal primarily with species orchids.
Try doing a search for Canadian specialty orchid nurseries.

I have a Den Micro Chip, a cross of Den. normanbyense and aberrans, and it is a nice, small compact plant. How tall is your normanbyense? Den. Micro Chip is also a very easy grower. Oh, and is it fragrant?
