Default Den. Pixie Princess

I found this at Lowes of all places, tag and all. It's double spiked, and fully bloomed out. I posted a picture of it a while ago but I can't find the thread to update. The flowers are pretty small. They are scented but nothing I can specifically put my finger on. They also appear to be long lasting. It's been in bloom for over a month.

Congratulations on your find Terri. It is one of my favorite dendrobiums. It seems that my plant smells like honey. Does that seem right? The flowers usually last for more than two months.

Gorgeous Den!! I wish I could find orchids like that in big box stores here, and even without a tag I would still get one!
