Dendrobium kingianium v. variegatum

[Barbara]

Hi, I'm back after a bit of a hiatus (internet problems) so I can share a picture of my den. Hope you like it.

Lovely flowers and variegated leaves! Probably, it costed more than a usual dendrobium.... Am I right?

It cost around $30 or $40, don't remember so well. Pour thing was in sorry shape when I got it, it had been over watered during it's dormentcy so most of the roots were gone, but it had several keiki's, so I removed them with their roots and potted them. This is the largest of the bunch, most of the rest I gave away.

WOW! Never seen a variegated version before...lovely. The flowers are also darker than my regular form.

Wow, love the leaves

My noid-which-looks-just-like-kingianum is in bloom too, my first even fully earned blooms!

Congrats! Never seen a kingianum variegatum before! The leaves are great, and I agree with Todd, the flowers look darker than the regular form; it is an effect of low light when you take the pic, or the flowers are really darker?

Thanks everyone. That really is the colour, it is darker that other pictures I've seen of the kingianium. Hoping for a bigger display next year, I'm going to take Todd's advice and give it the chill and a longer dorment season.

The flowers are amazing, but the leaves are equally attractive.
