Den. Misty Magic Pink
Here's my blooming mini Den. Misty Magic Pink. It's a hybrid Dendrobium gonzalesii (syn Dendrobium ceraula) × Dendrobium cuthbertsonii.
I've only had it since the beginning of February and when I bought it it had no blooms. Since about March it has bloomed constantly. It came in a small pot of sphagnum moss. As I am a heavy-handed waterer, mounted works best for me. It is on cork with non-compacted sphagnum around the roots. It gets watered/fertilized everyday until the water runs freely and then put back in a corner with windows facing south and west. It's not in direct west light but set back. It does get direct morning sun. They're are a number of orchids in the same space with a fan & humidifier, so humidity is kept relatively high. It's a delightful orchid and suits my amateur growing conditions.
