Dendrobium anosmum
Hi all,
I have had this one for many years but I never realized that I should have given it a winter rest from watering. So I tried the winter rest last year after learning about it here on Orchid Board. As a result it bloomed on me for the first time last year. I repeated my success this year but now I have two canes producing flower buds! Here is the first flower of the group. It has a wonderfully strong scent of raspberries. I'm so happy I never gave up on it.
