    Default Dendrobium laevofolium

    Hard to catch the real color. It's actually hot pink with an orange center.

    Saw a close-up photo in IOSPE. The glowing petals are cute. Your pic showing the whole plant is very nice too.

    That's really exquisite. I love the way the blooms gather in the center and the color is so regal. Good growing. That plant is one happy camper!!

    What kind of growing medium is it in? How long have you grown it in such mix? TIA

    Tom - it's growing in a small bark/charcoal mix. Always been growing in that mix. It will need repotting once it finishes blooming and I'll switch it to a coconut mix at that time.

    Hot pink and orange! Great color combo and the flowers are really nice in a grouping like that. Very pretty.

    Cheers,
