Thanks guys. I'm so happy my fellow forum members on a Swedish orchid forum, kept their eyes open and told me when it was available in Europe.

I think even a beginner can get this one going. This species is not very large either, so if you have limited space, it shouldn't be a problem. Flowers are about 1.25 inches across and about 1 inch tall, so they can be a bit showy.

I would classify them as very easy to grow even, especially on a windowsill. They are on par with Phals in difficulty level I would say. They want more water, can take more light, can take some abuse (like mine has) and still flower and grow quite happily. It's my first Dendrobium as well, so definitely newbie friendly.
Hmm... The flowers on mine are larger than that though; 2.25"-2.5" across and about 1.5" tall. It's probably different between plants I would guess.
