 Dendrobium anosmum (superbum) white update Hello, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just an update on my dendrobium.... I'm so happy, those little buds are really big now and started opening today!!!!!!!! I find it funny that the flowers seem to open all at the same time... They're still a little green, but suppose they'll get white soon... The first pic is from aprox. one week ago and the others are from today... Believe it or not, it is already possible to feel a sweet fragrance!!!!!!  I'll be posting new photos as it goes.... Thanks guys!!!!!!  Last edited by renata; 08-04-2008 at 04:01 PM.      |

| Ohhh, you are sooo lucky. I keep trying to find one of these in spike or at least blooming size for sale, but I don't ever have any luck. I like both the white and the purple, but I think I would prefer the purple just because I like purple dendrobiums.

| Orchidementia, I'm also in love with them, they grow rapidly and even without flowers they look really nice and green....This species has big hangins canes, I hope when it is full, it'll look a little like a fern, hehehehe.... Pitik101, I can already smell the sweet fragrance, but I think it will be stronger after flowers mature... Missann, I took like almost 2 years to find this white variety, I also think that the purple must be amazing, I once saw a pic on internet of a pink superbum that looked like a cascade!!!!!!!!! keep searching yours, it will worth it.... Evagetry, My plant is actually young, didn't expect flowers this year, I bought it in early june, still with the leaves on...This cane that is blooming is only 50 cm long!... Hope they bloom every year!!!!!!!!! |

| one good growth habit of a Dend anosmum (true to all its variety) is that when it starts blooming...it will continue to do so on a yearly basis, unless you divide the plant. Another thing is that as it matures, it throws more and more canes year after year. and its really happy...it gives longer and longer canes. The alba and semi alba have lesser number of flowers than the pink ones. Most that I got from an alba is 14 flowers in 1 cane. |

| Wow, those are some big buds. I can't wait to see the flowers. Can anyone tell me if the lavendar Dendrobium anosmum (superbum) is as fragrant as the white ones? I am thinking of buying one and can only find the lavendar one. |

I guess it will be a real show Stopper when it has more canes  ...The third pic I tried to show the lip a little closer, looks a little "hairy", hehehe Hope you all like it, like I do Actually, I loooooooove it  .....Everytime I walk through the livingroom I give it a little  ...See ya!!!!!!!!!
