New Dens
 
:waving
About a month back, I ordered four more Nobiles.
My very favorite,....Oriental Smile 'Fantasy' [2] , Red Emperor 'Prince', and Fancy Yellow. Am planning to surprise my daughter, with one of the OS :) So pleased with the quality and size on these, and I'm thinking of next years order Already :rofl::rofl:.
Honestly.....since I got bitten with the orchid bug in 2005, I've never been so obsessed with any type of orchid as these Dendrobiums! :blushing:
They are all sitting on the back yard step, beginning their chill. It has , for a few days, been around 8 degrees C.
pics to come :)

The ones you listed are also my favorites!!! :)
I love these plant, very well behaved and beautiful flowers with sweet scent!

I also like Love Memory Fizz.
I almost bought one in bloom at a supermarket with a tag saying Pinky Love (?), huge white flowers with yellow center on the lip and touched with pink on the edge of the petals.

They are probably gone by now. My hands were full of grocery. Dang it!! Sometimes I wish I had one more arm. lol

:biggrin: its difficult when your arms are full ! :rofl: I Love all these nobile hybrids, and next year , I'm thinking of a white one [either Sea Mary 'Snow King', or Spring Dream Appolon ] or Both! LOL

Love Memory is my favorite, and right now, my plant is nubbing out, but too soon to tell if the four little nubbins are kiekes or flower buds. Either way I would be happy , as a friend really would love a baby :)

I have had both of those white varieties, and honestly, I could not tell which is which. lol
They are both nicely scented, and bloom well.

Living in Alberta, I wouldn't be surprised if you already get spikes.

I spent one summer with friends in Edmonton, and it was great! the climate was just like American Rockys.
The day was sooooo long and I often forgot how late I was out. I'm sure the winter is like hell and long night, though. lol.

I'm leaning towards Snow King,although the decision will be hard! LOL
I sure hope they are spikes :)
We are a little out north of Edmonton, and the summer [this year at least ] was great! Light till 10:30 pm, and early sunrises too :) Now, it gets dark at 7:30 and pretty chilly nights. Good for the cyms and nobiles :)
