What kind of den?
I know this is dendrobium, but a more precise ID would help me give it proper treatment. This is the only den I have, so I am pretty clueless.

Nice bloom....if it's noid, it will be hard to tell...your best bet for the name would be just dendrobium noid. I have a few noid, and it's just stay without name. It's hard sometimes to ID them since u have no clue of the parentage.

I don't know either but it looks more like a warmer growing one than the type that need a cool winter rest. I'm no expert tho. Do you know where it came from? Maybe you could contact the seller.

It came riding along on the basket of a neostylis last summer.
Warm growing dens, is that a nobile variety?

The Nobiles are the cool growing ones. Phal type Dens are one warm growing type but there are others. I am not real knowledgeable with Dens but have a few Nobiles and a few warm growing ones that look more like yours but not close enough to give you any better idea. |

Hi Joy! good to "see" you! I think it is a Dendrobium Nobile. The closet I could find on the Internet is here: http://www.berkshireorchids.com/dendrobiumnobile.html |

To me the flower doesn't look like the Nobile type at all. They have round fat petals and this one as slim dainty petals. |

Hi Joy, this is likely Dendrobium moniliforme or perhaps a hybrid of near-100% moniliforme ancestry. Either way, it should grow well with warm and moist summers, cool/cold and drier (NOT bone-dry) winters, bright light short of full sun, and excellent drainage at the roots. In my experience very tolerant of a wide range of conditions, though, and yours certainly looks healthy.
Nice flower, BTW! Is it fragrant?
