Look at this color tone (round 2)

I posted some pics of a Den is D. Burana Fancy - Mdm. Uraiwan when first purchased in bloom due to its odd pale green/purple color scheme (very exotic). It has bloomed again 2 1/2 mo. later on the same stock/cane and the colors are just as awesome as their were back in May. I did not know that this dens can rebloom as fast as a couple of months.

The first time back in may when the blooms were posted, they grew in a round cluster. This time, the blooms are much better uniformed.

That is very elegant, Trung! Congratulations! You must be doing something right with it.

Cheers!

Thanks Bruce,

I had almost giving up growing dens because whatever potting medium that I used, the roots would just go bad and the plant would eventually die. It wasn't until I read a couple of posts here last year that discuss dens and lava rocks. I tried it with 100 % lava rocks, with 1/4 strength feeding each week and the results have been great.

Thank you for the compliment but I like to return the favor. What I did to the plant was using the information that I learned here on the rv-orchid forum. You have an amazing orchid site.

Congratulations on the "Art Shade" blooms! They are quite unusual. Glad to see the plant is doing well for you!

That's beautiful coloration, Trung! And I love it's big ears!

Congrats on figuring out how to make this guy happy! That's all orchid growing is about. Figuring out what each wants, one plant at a time.
