Dendrobium NOID Pink
 
My original post got too lenghty and I thought I would start a new one here.
The two little plants pictured are keikis from a plant I got last fall. It lost all the roots, yet stayed alive with over twent five flowers while hanging on my window blind. Eventually, all the leaves yellowed and fell off.
I kept the bare cane in a plastic box with nothing in it, put the whole thing under the sink (dark, warm and dry)

The cane began to sprout a month or two later. That was around November. I potted up keikis individually earlier this spring. Now two of them are flowering.
One with three flowers and the other one with two flowers. Both plants are about 6-7 inch tall not taking the spike length into consideration.

Two additional pictures show the same bare cane still making four more keikis. This must be a super clone of whatever it is!

So far, none of them picked up disease of any kind (not a single spot!), grow quite fast, look very healthy.

gotta love this plant! now plants!

This is the picture of the mother plant from last year.

Beautiful little keikis.

Interesting.

The mother plant has much more pink in her flowers than the keikis.

Both variations are beautiful! Well done! It must be so rewarding to get flowers from your own keikis. :D

I love this plant and flowers!

Keikis are exact copies of the mother plant. The slight color change, I believe, is due to the heat.

All my miltoniopsis that bloomed in the spring was showing normal color, while the same plant flowering now is almost bleached out!

I will see if there will be any color changes on the next flowering.

Really pretty flowers! Great growing on the Keikis!

Thank you, these guys are very robust. They just grow like crazy and I love it about them.

Now I have too many keikis and probably keep only one or two.
