Default Antelopes are blooming

Some of these can be very small plants but some can be very large. I got these from Maui Orchids a few years ago and they are trying to become trees. They are tucked away in a bright spot back in the corner of my greenhouse and are not very accessible so I cheated by plucking flowers that I sat atop a small plant just for the picture. I find the flowers very intriguing. The spikes have about thirty flowers.

1. Den. strebloceras x Den. gouldii
4. Den. strebloceras x Den. Palolo Rainbow
3. Den. Blue Twinkle x Den. antennatum
2. Den. Norma Jackson x Den. canalicalatum

Jerry,
Dens are becoming a larger part of my orchid collection. These are 4 great looking antelopes -- moving up towards the top of my wish list.

The colors on these are beautiful, Jerry. I bought a Lorrie Mortimor from Maui Orchids about 1 & 1/2 yrs. ago and it has since become a tree! Last measured, it was 3.6 ft. tall. I love the Antelopes; they're always in bloom!

Great growing!
