| Cathy Beck update   Well It hasn't bloomed yet, maybe from adjusting to the new environment? But so far it seems to be doing good. The new growth has grown just a hair. The leaves look like they are beginning to shrivel a little but the canes look good and I added a skewer. The very top bud was bunched up with the one right below it so they are starting to spread out and I thing the spike has gotten a little taller.

| ok guys, getting closer! The buds are still getting bigger! here are pictures from last night!     What do you guys think? I am guessing later this week or beginning of next week. I can't wait, I as out of town all weekend and was so worried I would miss them opening, not knowing what to expect as far as how big they will be before they open, but they keep getting bigger!

| Looks great! I wish mine would do something! I am not sure on the time it takes for them to open. I was very surprised at how fast the Naples Nights opened.

| It is finally Happening!!!! Quote:
 you can see it beginning to open! It is more reddish like the one in Jerry's picture (btw Jerry is right). This thing has taken of if you look closely just beneath the new growth you can see one of the new roots it has developed in the last week. And that's not all, It has something growing inside that new growth, I think it's a new leaf. Yay! Me so happy! Hee Hee  And I was so worried that they would all blast because the last few days have been pretty dry except during the sporadic hail and rain. There are more pictures, I'm waiting for it to upload I'm on dial up tonite  I got a huge humidifier at a garage sale outputs 12 gal in 24 hrs for two bucks! And I got two air purifiers for 50 cents a piece, just needs new filters. ok its done now It's kinda hard to tell how reddish the bloom is from the picture because of the lighting but it is not as pink as some of the pictures make it look. I litterally screamed when I turned around and saw that it was beginning to open. I had been home for 5 hours before I noticed, shame on me! I could have posted this sooner!   I am in total suspense waiting for the rest to open! Jerry Thanks a bunch! With all the craziness going on between school, work, and home this has been a real pick me up!  ok, that's all for tonite!

| This might sound like a silly question, but is Den Cathy Beck deciduous?

| I have no clue about being deciduous, but the bloom really is starting out looking like kinganium (sp?). Truly fascinating! Can you get some more pics? !!!

| Den Cathy Beck is not deciduous. I did see literature that growing any cane Dendrobium in too dry or too cool a situation will cause it to drop leaves as if it was deciduous. I also find that Dendrobiums younger than three years old lose a lot more leavers than older plants. All the details about it are at this location Hawaiian Floral Nursery: University of Hawaii cultivars Peak flowering season for this plant is Oct to Feb.

| Congratulation, Kortney! I'm so excited for you! I thought mine was getting a spike, but the tiny bump still sits there....  I can't wait to see it open all the way!
