Fabolusus is on a distinguished road
Dendrochilum tenellum

I just bought this from Parkside Orchids. The staff there is very knoledgable, and all of the plants I got are in excellent shape. However, the sales guy didn't go into very much detail...All he said was that its requirements are intermediate, similar to oncidiums. Does anyone have any experience with this one? Specifically when it blooms, how much light, fertilizers, etc. BTW my Dad is from the Philippines, and he always wondered when he was a kid what kind of grass this was that grew in all of the trees!

I have no first hand experience but will check around for you at the shows this month.

Oncidium care as suggested sounds about right. Dens can range from 200-6000 foot candles of light for various species. obviously these are around 2500 Oncidium light
