This particular plant is a cross of Den. atroviolaceum and Den. rhodostictum. The flower are extremely long lasting. Not much infor on the web, any one there got this plant and can share the glowing condition.

Beautiful blooms! I have one with this as a parent, but have been unable to bloom it although I think I was keeping it too dry

According to Orchidwiz (I just LOVE this program!):

Den. Nora Tokunaga is composed of species of which 100% take high light. Grow this hybrid in bright indirect light conditions.

Grow this hybrid in cool to hot conditions, or 58°F (14°C) to 85°F (29°C) at night.

50%-60% humidity. Keep moist in the Spring-Summer, when plant is in active growth. Grow in a pot with porous, free-draining media. The pot should be small for plant size. Fertilize weekly, weakly (one quarter to half the normal dose). Reduce water/feeding during the cooler months.

I had one for about 2 years. Nora is a very small plant but loverly little flowers. I also have Den. Roy Tokugawa which is in spike now. Flowers are similiar in color tho larger. This one is doing just fine. But I wish I had Nora back.:_(

:_( Hope you post a pic of roy blooming! The one I have is a nora x roy - I kept it too dry and bright but I think it needs moist and bright with slight drying in the middle because the latest growth has matured nicely (in the past all of the new growths lost their leaves a few weeks after maturing!)

Hi cb977,
Thanks, do you know how long the flower can last.

Hi! I have a Den. rhodostictum (only for 6 months) so I am not much help with this particular one. I was hoping you could provide me with a photo of the plant as I would love to see the size of yours! Mine is so tiny I just wonder how long I have to wait for it to bloom and how big it should grow to, but since yours is a cross...it probably wouldn't be the same size. I look forward to hearing others advice!

Another good one in this same line of breeding is Den. Pam Tajima (eximium x atroviolaceum) Check out the hybridizer H&R Orchhids for more info.
