Well done Jenny. I think this is a species well worth a place in any collection of Orchids.

Here are some photos to get you excited about your purchase. There is also some information here about your newest aquisition that you might find interesting as well.

Dendrochilum - uncatum var. uncatum

:) Thanks Trey :)

If you get them in bloom...Dendrochilum uncatum has a very unique fragrance... ;)

'Unique' as in a nice unique? The only one I've smelt was like vanilla honey, but I don't know what it is only that it wasn't a uncatum!

There's a picture of the plant here:http://www.orchidboard.com/community...m-uncatum.html and, believe me, I'm going to try my best for blooms :)

"Unique" as in neither pleasant nor repulsive, it's kinda - mixed. Generally, the fragrance can be best described as a little - pungent, but not quite...offensive on the order of some Bulbophyllums. :biggrin:

The flowers can be showy! :) They are pretty large compared to many other Dendrochilum species.
