Thanks for the visit !

note: this is not growing outdoors....I have a large south facing bay window in my apartment....but this plant gets to be out in the warmer months on the fire escape....you are right, the polar vortex is still on...and Manhattan is not spared

but the pictorial was done on the top floor of my building on the noonday sun at 47F ....but no worries the plant was only exposed to the cold for a minute

Bud, this one is totally totally awesome Dendrobium. I do really love how it grows, different than many Dendros, and the spikes and blooms are amazing! You must let me know where I can get one, I really like this orchid:-) Amazing growing!

TommyMiami--

Andy's Orchids has them and they were pretty reasonable when I bought a small one last fall (though I'm probably a year or so away from blooming size).

Add me to the list, a really nice plant! And your pictorials do your plants great justice. I think it might have been asked before, but any hints or advice regarding your photo setup and methods?

Yes I agree with Tommy it is totally awsome. I would like to find a good source as well!

Thanks for the visit and your kind words, Tommy !

This is a no fuss plant. I just give it the correct culture and leave it be on its corner.
Its a compact small plant given to me by a friend who got it from a Connecticut grower and that was a couple of years ago.
Andy's orchid is your best bet. Andy have robust healthy plant and he personally calls you and gives you tips on how to grow the plants you bought. He will call you when he is about to send the plant and when it arrives he will want to know how it is.

Thank You, Thomas !

I make sure I have an overcast sky to capture the right color of the flower.
I use a Canon Power Shot SX500 IS that is small, low budget camera that holds an ultra wide-angle zoom lens in a very small, very light body. It offers more shooting options -- including semi manual and manual controls -- than most in its class, and has very good optical image stabilization.
I make sure to present the flower to its full advantage, that it gets a full shot, a close-up and an extreme close-up....

Many thanks Bud, will try Andy, I do order from him pretty much nearly every 2 months some rare species, that he does not have even listed:-)
I want this one, really love the way it grows!

Very cool plant. The flowers are really attractive too. Unfortunately, that year-round heat requirement would mean it would die in my care rather quickly. Good to see a nicely grown plant of this species though.
