    Default Dendrobium cuthbertsonii semi-alba

    It formed the flower buds soon after I bought it last fall, so all credits go to previous grower.

    Flower color is more like creamy yellow.

    The buds formed last fall and it is just now blooming? This orchid must take lots of patience.

    Cheers,

    yup, it takes awhile to develop but the flower will last forever too, up to 10 months.

    Edit: got this plant back in Oct. and flower started to open two weeks ago.

    The blooms can last ten months, that is remarkable and it certainly makes the wait quite understandable also. This orchid obviously takes its time coming in bloom and going out of bloom. AL
