Mary, one of the criteria which may helps folks with regards to advising you would be to know which kind of den you have -- is it a hard cane or soft cane (nobile type)?

My dendrobium has been outside on my covered porch since late May & now has a spike with several flower buds on it. I have been putting my other orchids (phals) outside at night hoping they will also spike. My question is do I go ahead & bring the dend. inside to its winter location (windowsill)? I am afraid of causing bud blast if I change its growing location right now. But I don't know if leaving it out on these cool evenings (55 - 65 degrees) will stop the flowers from opening. We have been having day temps in the mid - upper 70s with high humidity this week. Any suggestions??

Here are 2 pictures. I'm not sure which type this is. The 2nd cane without a spike is from last year & it kept it leaves all winter.
Hi Mary this is a hard cane as described by pavel, so this type of dendrobium they love the warm/hot environment in order to bloom profusely.
Good luck Mary looking forward your post.
Here is this den in bloom when I bought it last year. The flowers are more pink than in the picture. Any ideas on a name?
