    Default A herd of antelopes.. Dendrobium Jairak Helix

    I bought the plant from a dealer who knew nothing about it - going soleloy on the name, to assume it would be an antelope type. The first flowering was very disappointing, and I marked it off as a non-keeper, and rather neglected it.. Then I find out has made 4 spikes this year, with rather a lot of flowers... If only they had been trained a bit, it might be rather nice. So, now a keeper. But the mass of flowers and the mess they are in makes it difficult to single out a snapshot to show you what they are really like. But one thing is sure, this is a floriferous orchid !
