Default bit of a disappointment ...

Was looking forward to a decent floral display from this one but about 2/3 of the buds blasted.

This is the only NoID in my collection. It also is one of the oldest plants ... probably close to 20yrs old. Got it back in the day when Lowes was carrying all the mini dens. Used to have more of these but over the years a few died but most were traded off.

Hey, ikea and the nurseries are selling tons of these miniature dendrobiums here.

High light. Over the summer they were on my balcony with SW exposure.

So cute, I love how big the blooms are in comparison to plant itself! Really great, I would love to know what is this one!
