Default Dendrobium Berry 'Oda'

Dendrobium Berry 'Oda'; the first time I ever learned about this plant is that of a picture of an orchid which was cultivated by Madame Haruko Yabu and displayed at the Orchid Show 2009 in Yokohama Takashimaya (Yokohama City, Japan). I started to lose sleep over it and so wanted it, yearned for it and pined for it for days…I just gotta have it…and I asked my broker from the flower district in Manhattan to find me one…and they did! Now it’s in bloom again and it’s just a magnificent display of blooms…
Dendrobium Berry ‘Oda’ = Dendrobium kingianum x Dendrobium 'Mini Pearl' (Dendrobium canaliculatum x Dendrobium bigibbum)
A delightful cross producing many charming purple flowers on many inflorescences...
Commonly nicknamed as Bamboo orchids for it quickly produces quite a number of canes.
This is a modern hybrid that takes all the good qualities from Dendrobium kingianum and adds the ability to grow in warmer conditions which it inherits from a Dendrobium biggibum (recently remaned Vappodes phalaenopsis) hybrid.
A great little orchid that blooms over a long period and perfumes it’s surrounding for much of the time. It smells like Irish spring soap and Narcissus…and since it has a lot of blooms it surrounds the room with it early in the morning fades a bit as the day progresses and becomes strong again at dusk…
I give it plenty of light but not hot sun (indoors south facing windowsill) and I think this grows and flower in most temperatures, making it suitable for the home, greenhouse or conservatory.

Thank You, Nenella !

Thank You, Ron ! 'broker" is just a nice term for the flowershop owner who has a catalog of flowers she can order from growers all over the world at wholesale price...
so when I say that I am looking for this kind of orchid: she looks at her lists of suppliers and calls one who she thinks has that orchid in their stock...and adds it to the tons of flowers she orders weekly...sometimes given to her for free

Who is this "broker"?
I love the bloom and the fact that grow in the warm setting. I assume that means it can flower without the cooling requirement?

I just got two pots of pink NOID kingianum that fill up my apartment with hyacinth like fragrance in the morning and evening. They look just like yours except the lip has lots of little spots.
I'm afraid I can get it to flower again due its cooling requirement to flower.

I just nicknamed her 'broker' because she gets insider bids on lot per lot of flowers that comes to her at 4am in boxes on 29th street...then she divides them to all the street delis before 7am from uptown to downtown delivered in clear cellophane wraps sometimes a bunch of red roses goes for $15 a dozen(the good long stemmed kind for $25 a dozen)... and outside her shop at 5 am are a bunch of cut leaves and dead flowers in the trash

By cooling requirements you must mean to expose the Dendrobium to a rest period...or let it experience night cold temps to flower: not this kind...this just loves the temps you put it and will bloom when its time to bloom because it needs to produce canes and more canes...next year I have to repot...new canes are already coming...and theres no stopping them

Very very nice! One of my favorites, I never get tired of those blooms.
I should call my mother to see how mine is doing. I have no where cool and bright to put it for the winter, so I sent it off to my mother's place. If she remembered to water it once in a while there should be buds by now...

Wonderful!!! Sounds like my kind of orchid - quick growing, fragrance and not to difficult to grow. It looks like a large plant though and I have to stick to compact/mini now, since my shelves have filled rather quickly. I honestly have no idea how that happened, but I strongly suspect that some little elves come at times during the night and leave a orchid or two. Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Thank You ! This orchid is 8 inches at its tallest, plus the flowers it can be a foot and a half tall. You noticed that is in a 5" pot and starting to be filled up with canes...I am sure you can have space for this on your windowsill...its not rare and its easy to find and buy
