    Gorgeous! However, this is not Dend farmerii. This seems to be Dend thyrsiflorum, which is pretty similar to Dend densilforum, and hence also called as Dendrobium densiflorum var. alboluteum).

    Dend farmerii has PBs whose cross-section is almost rectangular in shape and slightly shorter than thrysiflorum. There is a difference in the lip as well. thrysiflorum's lip is completely orangeish yellow, while the outer part of the lip of farmerii is lined with white. I have a Dend farmerii, but it did not bloom yet for me Still trying to lay my hands on Dend thyrsiflorum
