That is an awesome well grown plant Pete.

I have a palbabrum (?spelling) with a single open spike. Not sure if there is any real difference in this and farmeri (except your plant kicks butt on mine:eek:)
 
Beautiful!!!You must drink a lot of wine to repot all your plants!hihihihi
 
thanks all. selfing of this plant already growing in the greenhouse...

yes! and it becomes even more expensive as many companys do not use real cork corks any more! alas, i have plenty friends who run or work at italian places and bars that save corks for me. Ive found in recent years that all of my vandaceous, as well as most of my aggressively rooting Cattleyas and dendrobiums grow best on a mount or just in an empty pot or pot filled with (real) wine corks.

I'll try to improve my wine drinking to try your technique:rollhappy:(easy,I am in Italy),but I think to my plants will lack Hawaian climate...
I also grow + half of my plants now mounted and also trying new Taiwanese technique growing seedlings of Paphs without nothing...
 
Here's a pic of the similar (or same?) species that I have. D.palpebrae.

The last blooming actually had more pink flowers that were not as flat and open as this blooming. (supposedly the difference between farmerii and palpebrae).

Up close you can see its one of those fuzzy lip Dendros.
