Dendrobium Nora Tokunaga x abberans blooms

[pulp]

Miniature Dendrobium. Blooming eventhough it had bad roots, transferred to FWC but so far no sign of dropping blooms, even has another spike growing. Really eager bloomer. At most it has had like 8 spikes at once.

So cute. It sounds like a survivor.

Some of the Den.Tokunaga crosses that are now starting to bloom are amazing to say the least as well as the clean presented flowers they appear to have a long lasting quality. I have had them last for 5 months One for example being judged Champion of our spring show them 4 months later getting first in the Dendrobium section at our Summer show. I am about to pick up a Den Tokunaga cross which should have considerable red in it so I cant wait to see that one flower.

Thanks guys! Don't know why I missed your responses but better late than never! AJW I really fancy yours, that's gorgeous, more to my taste than the plain cross I got. Believe it or not but this plant when the blooms from july were starting to drop started growing new spikes, 8 new spikes. So as I said, a really eager bloomer! :-) I'm afraid there is something wrong with it though, it has yellow dots on the leaves/bulbs of some growths, maybe it's just cause it's old bulbs but I have it isolated anyway.

That habit looks very similar to Latouria, is it?

Yes. I am still kind of new to how to speak about it but Lautoria is a collection of Dens right? It's parents are part of that, Nora Tokunaga is Den. atroviolaceum 'pygmy' x Den. rhodostictum and abberans belongs to the group too. Did I get it right?

Here is an image of the yellow dots, sorry for it being unfocused, only one I found where it was visible. Any opinion?


And a photo of the whole plant. No new growths in a while, bit worried about that.

Here are some shots of my Nora Tokunaga x aberrans. Slightly fragrant, like cinnamon. The p-bulbs are very slender on my plant, 3 apical leaves, tighly clustered p-bulbs. Floriferous in any case.

Pulp, those spots may be a sign of virus...or not. That is an young bulb and it may well be just water damage plus a bacteria. If you are worried about virus, isolate the plant for a season and see if the next growths are healthy.

The original cross is atroviolaceum x rhodostictum. What was previously called atroviolaceum dwarf or mini is now seperated as D. normanbyense. The hybrid with rhodostictum is called Little Nora and is considerably shorter than your plant (I have two, about 12cm tall). I suspect you have the original in your cross, but can't be sure. At this time there are no registered hybrids with Little Nora, although they do exist.
cheers,
