Disa uniflora 'N54'

[Dandrobium]

So I kept the buds from blasting, but that's my only feat with this one. Just got it last week I've got a smaller D. uniflora (normal red kind) that has been growing well for me so I thought I'd pick up another! The color is hard to describe, its kinda peachy/pink, I think. Sepals are reflexing a bit but I'm hoping that's just culture shock.

Where'd you get this from?

How do John and Dan achieve growing and blooming Disas???? My Goodness... I must try to grow one very soon since I live in Canada too....

 

[Dandrobium]

Thanks! I got it from Tropical Garden Orchids out of Vancouver, BC. We'll see how long I can keep this alive Its currently in a plastic pot, but I'll need to repot it to clay for the cooling effect on the roots. My other Disa is potted this way and is doing well (so far)

That's really nice, Dan! Is that your Coelogyne mooreana in the background? Well done on both!

 

[Dandrobium]

Thanks! Yes that's the Coel. mooreana I got from you last year! Its doing well now that I've left it alone in its pot. Another new growth coming up as well.
