Dendrobium Party - Orchid Board

I have three more dendrobiums in bloom! The Denphal 'mini yaya', the large-flowered 'White Surprise' and Sa-nook 'Purple Happiness'. The latter gives off a beautiful fragrance whenever the sunlight touches it. It's a real joy to see them bloom together! Too excited!

NB: been getting nonstop rains and near 100% humidity lately. I'm seeing some little dark spots appearing on some leaves. Fungus maybe? Hmmm will have to research that.

I'm a bit of a dendrophile, very lovely! Mine tend to bloom at scattered times, and combinations just don't happen.
In your photo the purple appears red on the upper edge of the photo. That IS the purple, right?

Oh yes it's a very deep purple shade. In fact, I find that cameras don't capture it well. Interestingly, I heard someone say the same thing on YouTube about the shade of the 'Purple happiness'. It's hard to reproduce correctly. It's a stunner!
