This is the last one of my dendrochilums into bloom. Will have to wait for another 6 months or so before it will start all over again.

Each little flower looks like the frost fairys have painted it!
I've been looking at these online...they look so cool in bloom. I hear they smell good too!
Rudy, that is a magnificent specimen!
Cheers,
Rob
oh, lovely plant!
oh this is beautiful.... another one for my wish list.
Nice! How big is the plant?
I've had a couple of these for maybe 4 years and can't get them to bloom. WHat's your secrets. Yours is a beauty.
Dear All,
Many thanks for your appreciation. I also think it's a beauty. Very delicate.
Herewith some answers to the questions asked :
- the plant is about 40 centimers wide and 30 cm high (now you can start converting into feet and inches...);
- the individual flowers are extremely small (about 1-2 millimeters)
- unfortunately the flowers do not smell;
- don't know about the secret of getting it to bloom, I kept the plant in the coolest part of our otherwise relatively warm veranda and moved it onto the much warmer windowsill in the kitchen when I noticed the infloresence kept stalling for while. I spray it twice a day, water once a week and apply fertilizer every two weeks from March to November .
