That is such a neat plant, Terri! Nice going! I have a young one from H & R - Pygmy X Little Elf. Whoopee! I can hardly wait. I've been watering every five days so maybe I need to step that up. What medium are you growing in, please, and how much light? Thanks.

I repotted as soon as I got mine Shirley. I only went up 1/2 a pot size so it's in a 4" pot now. I used fine CHC, perlite and charc. I find that the pot gets really light by mid week and that's when I water again. If you're using bark and the weather is warm I'd say water 3 times a week? It's on the middle shelf of the grow rack about 4" from a pair of T5s. So, it's growing pretty warm and bright.

Steve I haven't noticed any fragrance but the flowers have only been open a week or so. I'll check it tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing yours with me. I think it's the coolest orchid ever! And H&R is great. I was very happy with both plants I got from them. They will definitely get more of my business.

This one is definitely faint worthy

This is probably the prettiest Dend. I've ever seen. I am not putting this on my wish list. I'm going shopping for it, on line in the morning, for real.

I have to have this.

P.S. By the way Terri, your Dend. looks great.
