    Dendrobium speciosum

    Here on my driveway I have a couple of clones planted in gravel, most are Mt Larcom Gold x self. As it doesn't break down, I find it the best medium if you plant outside, (unless you can mount it on a tree). They are growing in full afternoon sun and have survived a heatwave of 47.5deg C (117F)...

    Dendrobium speciosum

    Hi, I've got 2 pots of it. One flowered nicely last year and this year has no spikes showing. The other had 1 spikes last year but has at least 10 spikes just starting to pop. I have a 'Daylight Moon' with 6 spikes already 15cm long atm. The Creek Aureum is one of the later one to show spikes.

    Unidentified Eria??

    Hi I've had this plant for over 20 years and this is the first time it's flowered. Eria sp. Possibly. Any ideas? I put it outside in the cold glasshouse over winter (down to 7 deg) and that must have done the trick. Dont think it was really worth the wait though☹️

    Dendrobium falcorostrum

    Just some additional information. When Beech trees are referred to, they are from the order Nothofagaceae, the southern beeches. Only distantly related to northern hemisphere beech. One of mine in flower and the second photo of a hybrid off spring

    Dendrobium speciosum

    Hi. Typically new growth starts late spring till mid summer. Growth matures in autumn and rests over winter. Cool (down to 2 deg is ok) dry rest in winter. The more sun the better. Flowering starts late winter/spring
