Dendrobium bracteosum - magenta form

[Secundino]

Dendrobium bracteosum by Secun, on Flickr

A bit disappointed. Got this plant after I saw the splendid plant Dot had shown in this forum.
Not spectacular at all unless you get near. Perhaps it will improve with all flowers and all spikes open (three more to come), there has been lots of calima lately and low humidity, that may have had an impact on the flowers too.

They should open more, Secun. Give it a little more time. Mine is in bloom again, and has been for over two months.

Lovely color Secun.

The plant s growing fast but all regarding to spikes and buds and flowers is so slow ....! That's why they last so long, I suppose.

Day 63. Same bulb, same spike. Like silk-flowers, sparkling in the sun. Four spikes now, a fifth just beginning.

Lovely!
They last for very long time, right?

 

[SlipperFan]

Yes! Looks great!
