Default Dendrobium superbum
My D. superbum is once again in bloom - first two buds opened this morning. I have three plants, two of which are going into bloom. Third is a keiki that bloomed last year for only time. This image is from a previous year's bloom

They have a sweet perfumy scent that takes over the grow area. This is the only major Dendro I've had success with (ie. that hasn't up and died on me) I am currently trying with a mini D. abberans, which shows promise.

Nice color. Glad someone has a green thumb with Dendrobiums.

Cheryl, you're a peach! superbum is really hard to kill even for Tony. Only thing is a low temp winter rest - maybe I'll do a culture sheet I think those of you with warm winters might have trouble.

I think I may be seeing signs of a small bud on one of aberrans' pbulbs. We'll see if it's merely my imagination or not.
