Dendrobium Frosty Dawn in bloom...in my grow tent.
 

Is finally happening after to have gotten this Dendrobium Frosty Dawn orchid around Sept last year. Is blooming and flowering after 5 months inside my grow tent with 15 hours of artificial lighting daily. The light setup consists of 6 T8 bulbs and 4 100w equivalent LED bulbs. Yes, a lot of lights here. Surprisingly, the electric bill is only couple of dollars more each month.

Most of the flower spikes are at the top, of a 2ft tall cane. There are currently about 5 flower spikes at the top with 3 flower bulbs each. Hoping to see more spikes growing. Some of the older canes, from 1 to 2 years old, are also flowering. However, totaling about 3 flower spikes. These older canes look small and may not be able to support more blooms.

Very pretty, I just wish the flowers lasted longer.
