Ron. Does this dend. require a winter rest period? I have one and have never given it a winter rest so was wondering if I should.
Bob

I've never rested it, Bob, though it does get somewhat cooler temps in winter.

Same here. I checked the Lavarack, Stocker, Harris book on Dends and it was a little ambiguous. I've never given mine a winter rest and it consistently blooms so, since you agree, I'll stick with my routine.
Thanks

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Very pretty blooms, Ron. The vibrant color is outstanding. Any scent to the flowers?

Steve

Thanks, Steve, and no scent that I've ever noticed. Thinking about it, I don't remember that any of the Oxyglossum or Pedilonum Dendrobiums are scented.

Lovely!

Thanks, Sonya. This is actually an old post, but I guess the picture and info are still good.

Gorgeous!

Yes just noticed how old the post is as I saw your comment above but still wanted to say I love it :)
