Smile Sydney - orchid newbie!
hi all - just checking in for my first post...

i'm from Sydney Australia, pretty randomly I bought some orchids from a good grower up the coast for my family for this Christmas, and they were so beautiful i kept a few for myself!!!

i got these and kept them:

a big Denrobium "Aussie Starlight"
a small Bulbophyllum Echinolabium
a small Angraecum Magdalanae

since then i bought a whole bunch of NQR Dendrobiums and two Dockrilla "Australian Sunblessed"

my pics are here of the first 3, and group shot of them all : My Orchid Pictures | Facebook

i am going to mount the Dockrillas and a few of the Denrobiums - might need some advice at some stage for this...

but yeah - Gday everyone!

yeah - she has got two new flowers in bud - they are looking good!

i freaked out when the leaves started falling off - but then i realised it must be a deciduous plant! (i am right, right?)

but my question would be - should i divide it? it is spilling out over the sides and is fairly symmetrical...

how old do you reckon it is?

thanks for the warm welcome everyone

There are lots of resources around, are you mainly into Dendrobiums (I am pretty perceptive) or are you also into other plants?

I'm an AOC judge as well, let me know what you grow.
