It's not quite the same as this was a dried backbulb that should have ended in the bin but if it produces a couple of plants that would be nice. I didn't think it would have the energy but new roots have formed giving it good chances

Off topic, but a lot of Dens are amazing in their ability to come back from the (apparent) dead. I'll start a thread in the Dendrobium section. Another fascinating group
