Bimini Orchidarium

Dendrobiums. I grow small, on two shelves indoors under lights, but have still managed to amass two dozen Dendrobium species. In fact the obsession is getting so bad that I'm now selling off other...

Masdevallia nidifica

Hope you'll forgive the attempt at an "artsy" shot. I've been playing around with an effect that lets you color just one portion of the photo. Kinda cheesy, but on the other hand it focuses attention...

Not a roach. It's actually a giant water bug, largest beetle-type insect in North America, more closely related to cicadas. Predatory insects that sometimes "play dead" when threatened, but they can...

Interesting info, thanks! I just last week got one of these guys from Andy's. I'll grow it like I do my other winter-rest Dendrobiums: I typically withhold water from Halloween to Valentines Day.

Quite strong - sweet and tangy. Someone else described it as being like cake frosting. That's not too far off. ;)

Dendrobium trigonopus

Hi Judi,

All other things being equal, I'd consider changing one variable at a time to see if it gets results - start with the light, as that seems to be the determining factor with blooms for so...

Bulbophyllum retusiusculum

First bloom from a division given to me by a friend. I'm growing this I/W, bright shade, in a tree fern pot. Hopefully the next time around it will have more and bigger blooms! Thanks for looking!...
