Dendrobium Shavin White

[BValdes]

WOW! Both are fantastic great job

Beautiful!! Nice growing!!

What a shower of gorgeous white blossoms!! I find the shape of the flowers on the white one to be particularly appealing. It's quite elegant! Gosh, if I could get my Dendrobiums to put out that many flowers, I'd be over the moon!! (Although I do have one that's just about to start opening, and it has quite a few more than it did last time it bloomed, so I guess that's a step in the right direction.)

Now I just have to figure out the trick to getting a gazillion beautiful flowers!! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that trick might be "Move to a tropical climate!"

Beautiful orchids! Thank you for sharing!

Very nice! Lots of blooms.

Your dens are very happy it seems!

Love the Pachystachys in the background! Alas, can't grow that here without a greenhouse -- over the winter the dry indoor air does them in.

Thank you, Pavel. That shrimp plant though needs some trimming and I am procrastinating. The weather has been so rainy lately and I'm feeling lazy. The wetness has even ruined some of the petals of the green Shavin.

Both dendrobiums are stunning. I love orchids with nice fragrance and the white one seems to have a ton of blooms. Very nice all the way around!

cheers,

it is a prolific bloomer, Bruce. And the blooms seem to last forever. This one has been in bloom for almost two months now.

Hello Jenn. Yes, a move to the tropics may just do the trick. Then, once you are here, before you know it, you'd be into Aerides, Arachnis, Rhynchostylis, Renanthera, and Vanda, and species Phalaenopsis which abound in the Philippines.

Not all dends though bloom this much. It still depends on the type or the parentage. Most of those with larger flowers, or the phal-type dends, have less flowers on the spike. Many of my dends (see thread Dendrobium Season) have more modest blooms, but they are all so pretty.

Wish I can flower them like that! Beautiful!

One of only four dends that I planted in pots so I can take it indoors. All the rest are attached to permanent outdoor fixtures.
