Here is my Dendrobium victoria-reginae. Thank you Whiterabbit for this wonderful plant keiki, it is such an amazing plant!! :waving

Such a beauty! Congrats on the blooms! :)

So pretty!!

Congrats on the lovely blooms!

Looking good ... only wish mine would burst into life.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it too :)

Yay! I'm glad it's doing well for you!

Thank you, I just love it :biggrin: the other ones are doing very well also!

Beautiful color! One that would be great on my shelf,:rofl: But probably gets too big!:(

So that beautiful thing could have been sitting here. hahaha

I love the color!

Congratulations on the blooms!

Love this one! Good job growing her.

Beautiful, always loved this one but killed it! The color is just amazing!

Wonderful! I used to have one of these but sadly it died :( I'm happy you are having more luck :lol:

Thank you SO much everyone for the comments! So far it seems to be an easy grower for me, hopefully it continues to like my environment. Do you know what happened to yours so that I do not make the same mistake?

Beautiful. The only other orchid I really want to get!

Second bloom April-May 2015
 

I got two more buds on this one that just opened, a bit further down on the same cane that bloomed before. I am giving it pretty high light in my south window and it is blooming like crazy for me, free flowering!

That's great!!! :) Sonya is the one who also 'enabled' me to get one. I say photos of hers, and just HAD to buy one immediately. So I bought one in early october, and I'm happy to say that it's got big fat buds now! Mine also sits in a south window.

What happened??

Sonya offered me this plant, but I said no. How stupid! :biggrin:

I like free flowering plants and I love blue! :)

What is your winter low at your growing condition?
I know you haven't had winter with this dendrobium, but I think I read it is from high land in Phillippines and somehow stayed away from it thinking it needs a cool winter or overall cool environment.

Mine is blooming now and stayed on the shelves in the living room all winter, in front of a south facing window. The temperature never went lower than 16-17C. And I kept watering it, though just enough to keep the canes plump.

I swear mine is a permanent seedling.

My winter low was 60, I got it in October so it did spend winter with me. Lots of sun in my south window.

Good to know the min temp.
I think I can do that low.

Inject some growth hormone and see what happens! :rofl:

I didn't have time to calculate it yesterday, but that's 60F. That's only at night though, and since the winter was really mild, the low was more often around 65f

Thank you for the conversion, but I'm actually more comfortable with metric just like the rest of the world. hahaha

Thanks! :)

I love this one!

Thank you, it is budding again!! :)
