Dendrobium nobile

[Dorsetman]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]87611[/ATTACH


OK so you have not seen a nobile looking like this before. But a lot of my dendrobes in particular , well maybe that should be dendrobes exclusively - flower very pale. At least the ones where I expect the flowers to be pink. - remember my D.transparens ? So pale I called it var. alba . Don't know why - must be my culture, perhaps the light . Whatever, that's the way it is. But oddly, hybrids with pink in them seem to be normal colour.....
It flowered with fairly normal pink flowers last year a matter of a few weeks after I bought it. Has made two new canes, almost 2 feet high ( 60 cm) since then, , within a few cm of the best previous cane. Looks healthy. Just wish it was pink ! Any ideas ?

No clue on the color, but I would be happy with this color!

That is true species of nobile I like it so much very unique as compared to his hybrids I would think the temperature is the main factor maybe others can contribute
