Dendrochilum coccineum

[blondie]

Hi

I got this a while ago from Burnham after seeing it two years ago on a display of theres, it arrived with a spike. I honestly thought it would have blasted after travel. I got this at the same time as Coelogyne orcheacea var lemoniana. It has taken an extremly long time to flower I think that is due to the travela and change in environment.
The new growth, has a really nice red colouration to it which has now gone.

I've smells it not very strong smell its a strange smell not unpleasant.

The only way I can describe it is hand soap like the hand block type and dry straw mixed together.
