NOID soft-cane Dendrobium
 

This is a great compact hybrid of unknown name. The canes are only 3-4" long and the flowers nearly 2" across. It blooms on leafy and leafless canes. There are 11 buds in all.

Wow bright color, really nice, Todd :clap:

That's a softcane? I will never get it right by just looking at the canes...lol. But the flower....WOW! It is a beauty!

Beautiful, especially their veined lips.

nice todd
a question?
what is the diff between soft and hardcane dens?
don.t know much about dens except for the pphal den noids i keep picking up at wallmart etc

Oh my god that's beautiful!

My understanding is that the soft-canes are more or less deciduous while hard canes are more evergreen. Certainly, the hard canes are more upright while soft canes are more arching if not pendant. Hard canes also produce a terminal spray of flowers while soft canes produce nearly stemless flowers from the leaf axils. Anyone can feel free to elaborate on the differences!
