This one is real cute and small...second blooming this year (last time in may) with lots of huge flowers on a small plant (only 4-5" tall). They smell really strong...almost like creamy lemon pie :D The flowers last for ages, and it's not too finicky. I have it under lights (intermediate, bordering on high light), evenly moist. Hope you enjoy and feel inspired to try growing this guy.

Did you say 'lemon pie'?:drool: And a mini? Sounds like my dream dendrobium! You are right, it is so so cute!

Nice one Calvin!! Looks like it's from the Formosae group? I'm liking this one a lot! On the list it goes! :rofl:

Ooh... it looks like the center of a 'Cadbury Cream Egg'!:rofl:

Maybe you don't get that else where in the world.
It's a chocolate egg which has a creamy sweet fondant filling which is white and yellow just like that flower.

It's my favorite sweet at Easter and I absolutly love this flower.:biggrin:

Rosie, we do get those here along with the caramel filled ones. I love them, and given the opportunity will eat them til I'm sick! :lol:

I have a REAL PROBLEM resisting those Cadbury Eggs! LOLOL

Adding this Dendrobium to my list as well. . .it's WONDERFUL! And I just happen to have the perfect place for it. roflolol

Me too. Just the sight of those flowers makes my mouth water.:rofl:

Now that you mention it, it does look like a cadbury cream egg! :drool: And they do exist in the USA. I stuffed myself with them when I was a little kid, they were one of my favorite easter bunny chocolates. I loved the commercial with the cadbury bunny who clucked like a chicken! :lol: Shame I can't find any in France or holland, they were sinfully good!

That is really nice Calvin

Thanks everyone for the comments :D Terri - yes very good observation. I am a big fan of the white+red/orange combination that's common in the formosae dends

I love cadbury cream eggs...so many good things combined into one package. :)
