Dendrobium canaliculatum
 
These orchids are found growing on the barks of the Melaleuca tree in Australia and New Guinea at elevations of 0 to 760 meters.
Plant blooms from winter to spring with many 2.5 cm wide flowers. This is a compact miniature with long 14 inches spikes and flowers that has a sweet floral fragrance.
This orchid plant grows in warm to hot temperatures with bright shaded light. I keep it moist with high humidity and feed it K-Lite fertilizer weekly weakly with regular watering regimen every other day on its growth period. I provide dry winter rest by reducing water to every 10 days until new shoots appear. I potted this in a well-draining mix of medium fir bark, lava rock, charcoal, coco chips, tree fern shards and sponge rock. I have also seen this orchid plant mounted and on S/H.

Beautiful, Bud! I love the growth habit of this species as much as I do the flowers, and yours looks very happy and healthy.

Thank You, Nat!

I was excited to get four spikes in this blooming cycle.
Two spikes on two canes....the plant also gave me three new growths.
