    Default Dockrillia rigida

    formerly Dendrobium rigidum. I mounted a piece of mine, on cork and placed in high light. I now find that this piece blooms on and off all year for me. It has a lovely fragrance

    I have a Dockrillia that Gin gave to me. It is mounted and last year I missed the blooms because it put its spike up behind the mount! I need to check it. This one is cute. I like these blooms. How large is the plant, Ron?

    Cheers,
    BD
