Wow Gin, you have a knack with Dens! I love the first and last ones. Are these the type that need a resting period? They are beauties! kiki

[shams]

Oh wow, look at those Dens! I think I may have to give up on them... I wish I had your touch.

[Gin]

No rest for these not like some of the others , just less water but not total dry out . Don't give up .. Gin

Gin, beautiful flowers! I am curious... what does nobile mean? I have several dendrobiums and some were sold to me as "nobile." Thanks! SusieP

[Gin]

Here is some info on them . They bloom on the cane not out of or near the top those take warmer temps. and no semi. rest . Orchid Learning Center - Caring for Orchids

Great link! Thanks. So now I know the difference. Do the nobile type have kiki's like the top blooming ones?

[Djarum Black]

So beautiful Gin!

I still can't grow a Den well enough to save my own life, but I love to admire others who have the touch! They are all fantastic!

[Gin]

I can't grow the other kind well , they usually end up looking like sticks not supposed to lose their leaves but do when I have them .
These can produce keikies , from the canes , if there are a lot of them check for a root problem on the mother plant.

Wonderful blooms Gin!

That Star Sapphire is just stunning.



I hope to pick up my first nobile at the Lansing show this weekend. I have good luck with Den's, so I hope the Nobile will follow suit.
