Dendrobium aggretatum. This plant flowered in the fall for me and again now, despite the fact that I gave it too much water in the winter.

Looks beautiful! I'm still waiting on my d.senile to set some buds.

Love this plant. Anyone know of similar Dendrobiums?

Dendrobium lindleyi and Densiflorum look almost identical. Dendrobium farmeri is also similar. Is yours fragrant?

Thanks Dennis. Do you know of any that thrive in the same conditions but which have different flowers or leaf shapes? I like the plant and it does well for me. It's very slightly fragrant. I'm starting some back bulbs if you want one.

I would love a back bulb. D.Farmeri and D.thyrsiflorum is a different colour but relative flower shape. I never grew D. aggretatum, though I was close to getting one at an orchid show. D. bellatulum and D.senile are pretty cool and requires a dry-cool dormancy during winter as well.

The only downside to all these mentioned species is that they are terribly short lived flowers. A perfectly flowered D. farmeri looks amazing but be careful not to sneeze or you'll miss it really though if you get more then a week out of the flowers you're looking good.

Dendros are beautiful orchids...

This year's flowering of the D. aggregatum. Just wish the flowers lasted longer. I have a few offsets if anyone wants to trade.

My Dendrobium "Love Memory Fizz" has flowered for the first time. It was in semi-shade in the garden all summer then got neglected and dried out all winter. I guess when they say not to water, they mean it. That name is almost as good as "Korean Melody Shark".
