Dendrobium Formidible 'Yukiko'
 

This is a very old cross and one of my favorites. The huge flowers measure more than 4 inches across and can be mistaken for a Cattleya.

Beautiful

I am more of a Cattleya grower than a Dendrobium grower . . . but WOW!!

Well done!

If I do decide to add more Dens to the collection, that one is going on the list!

Those are gorgeous flowers!

Amazing. Do you grow in a greenhouse? Or just out in a backyard? With your climate, is a greenhouse even necessary? Would love to see pics of your growing area.
