Default Dendrobium Mingle's Sapphire
(victoria-reginae x gonzalesii)

This has been in bloom constantly since February
It's an easy keeper, but does like it's water and a sunny window (mine is in a west facing window that is shaded in late afternoon).

I tried on three different days to take pictures - never did get any I'm very happy with, but I guess you all get the idea - there are three spikes clustered near each other, and the blooms facing whichever way they can!

Thanks for looking

Is this one a cool-grower like the Den. victoriae-reginae? I'm pretty sure that the unairconditioned nyc summers were the killing blow to my attempts of growing that species...

The gonzalesii parent (a warm grower IOSPE PHOTOS) reportedly makes this hybrid temperature tolerant, excepting extreme heat or cold.

I know, isn't that annoying when you can't get good pictures of beautiful bloom?

nice color by the way! does gonzalesii bestow ever-flowering characteristic as well?

It sure is!

Thanks - yes, this one has been constantly blooming since February - it only bloomed for the first time early in '10, didn't bloom again til a year later, but bloomed a few times last year, and this year has not been without blooms It has two more spikes coming along at the moment. I'm going to have to break down and repot it before too much longer
