Dendrobium Unium
This is my Dendrobium unium   . It just started blooming about 5 days ago and still has a hand full of buds. The flowers are fragrant. The smell is a mix between apricots, peaches and baby's breath. It enjoys a cool and dry winter rest. I started soaking every other day once the spikes started to appear and everyday once new canes started to grow. |

Exactly. When it started to bud i called Andy's ( Andy's Orchids, where i purchased it from) and asked it i should lower the light level now that it was starting to bud and he said "no. never lower the light". So i didnt.
I will eventually lower the light level in summer or if i start to see leaf burn. |
