Dendrobium Don Thompson

Nothing special about the shape but the colour is great. A fairly typical softcane flowering, it's getting better as the plant gets bigger which is pretty normal for most plants I guess. Usually I get 3 flowers on one cane that are much smaller than these but this year the flowering is much better. Anyway it has been grown from freezing right up to 45C outside so it's done well this year.

It's a pretty colour, and the plant looks really happy. Great growing.

There must be about 20 new growths around the base and half grown. Next year might be a great year for this one.
