| Hi, I just read this, and good growing Solay!!! I have to add that I do not believe that this is a Nobile-type Dend. Solay sent me one of her keikis (and it is growing like crazy), and it looks very similar to my D. kingianum only it is much taller. I wonder if this is a species Dend., cause it just looks so familiar, and the 'Kobai' is a cultivar. I hope I said that right. Kevin???????? What do you think?

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius |
