Den. spectabile

[Dandrobium]

Here's a first flowering for my dendrobium spectabile I picked up a couple years ago as a large seedling. This plant, of all orchids I have in semi hydro, has outperformed all others in terms of growth & vigor in that media. Most all of my dendrobiums do well in S/H, but this one takes the cake. It is a heavy drinker though, emptying the reservoir within a couple days. Almost as thirsty as my Fdk. in S/H, I find.
I have it growing with my high light phrags and catts in a south-east facing window.

Its hard to get good pics of this species, so bear with me oke:
