Dendrobium noid (Comet King lookalike)

Got this yesterday. Colourful Cattleya-like flowers with a heavenly smell on two canes. Noid, of course, from NL, was the only thing the vendor could tell. Could be Dend. Comet King Akatsuka from Orchideen de Hoog.

Gorgeous!

I picked up one of these in the summer and I love it!

And fragrant - wow.

Edit June 15 2020:
Yamamoto Dendrobiums in Japan hybridizes and produces a great number of these plants. Their Web site formerly had excellent growing information for hobbyists. Unfortunately it is no longer there. You can still look at the varieties they grow, and maybe see one very similar to yours.

I saved the page, and summarized it in a post in this thread:
Uncertain if Dendrobium is still alive


Yamamoto now has a page showing how to force Dendrobium nobile for Christmas flowering in Japan's climate. There is a lot to learn from that page, but it is intended for growers who can artificially heat and cool their greenhouses during off seasons. Note they use coconut husk for growing medium, which many orchidists would say retains too much water for orchids. For many orchids that is correct, but this is a very thirsty orchid.

Bonita! Totally!

Thank you folks!

Hopefully I can make them flower again - our night tº are a bit to high in autumn/winter, but I'll do my best.
