My favorite Nobile Dendrobium so far this season

I have about 6 new color varieties of Nobiles this season and so far this is my favorite.

I will keep you posted if the other two varieties bloom like we spoke about. it was nice talking with you and i look forward to seeing you next year at the ft. myers show and in orlando.

This photo is the exact plant that you bought. I took the photo the day before you bought it.

I remember you bought a couple of non-blooming Nobiles, and the ones I stillhave are just starfting to bud this week. You can expect flowers on your other color varieties soon.

Nobile buds at first look like small roundish bumps growing out of the sides of the cane. They then develop into single buds or clusters of buds that are asymmetrically thick at the base and pointed at the tip. It's too dark right now to go out to the GH and take a photo, but I'm sure Jerry has some he can post. Nobiles sometimes develop keikis on the cane, too. These tend to start out more pointed than flower buds and quickly take on the look of small canes.

Wow! Gorgeous,you're making me jealous-I have one of those but so far no sign of spike! Jerry, you're in Florida,I'm in Oklahoma,colder weather then your's.Any guess as to when the nobiles normally spike(1 in greenhouse,2 in sunroom) in a cooler,shorter climate as it is now,here?

Lucinda,

With hybrids there is some variation on blooming times based on the parents and growing conditions. They needed 50 degree temperatures for about a month at night to set.

While saying that as a generalization, mine did not get that cool and are all budding anyway. They seemed to be satisfied when the temperatures dropped from the nineties to 65. I would think length of the day is also a big factor. You should have buds at least by March.

You must be right about the daylight hours Jerry - my nobiles flowered in September - early spring - and the temperature NEVER goes as low as 50F here.

Hi to Bill and Jerry & everybody! Bill, I wanted to let you know I got some fine den. nobiles from Slyvies Orchids,my thrysoflorum,the good one, I believe came from Kawamoto Orchids,not positive on that one,lost tag. Right after I asked about nobiles budding-much to my proud surprise I noticed little nodules all up and down one cane of my 'Oriental Smile' Yeah! I have 3 other nobiles(not 2)that haven't followed suite as yet,but hoping!

More Luck than Skill with Dendrobiums

I only have one Dendrobium (although many Phals), and it's this exact one - Oriental Smile 'Fantasy'. It was blooming when I bought it last year, and it has about 30 beautiful blooms now in spite of the fact that (from what I'm reading) I did most things wrong. I did put it outside in the Fall, so that was good, but I watered and fertilized it though the Winter and...this is the bad part...cut down the canes that had lost their leaves because I thought I'd killed them. What I have left surely is gorgeous though!

I've seen this den at Hausermann's> It really is beautiful.But I really love my Den Rainbow Dance that I got from Hausermann's. And I know for a fact they have several of them in stock.
