MY DENDROBIUM NOBILE COMET KING IN FLOWER

Ahh now this video I forgot about and I think this is my Dendrobium nobile Comet King Orchid? It is definately in my window and I hope I have not got this one ,ixed up with the one in my last post?! Lol!!

I call this Comet King as I am sure this was the name on the label when I bought it for £3.00 two years ago?! Though I have seen ones listed as Comet Queen which look just like this, so whether or not there are two different ones created by the same Orchid house with slightly different shades and therefore names or someones misnaming them somewhere I do not know.

DENDROBIUM NOBILE COMET QUEEN

My Dendrobium nobile Comet Queen is in flower but unfortunately the other Dendrobium nobile only three feet to this ones right hand side decided not to flower?! Odd, obviously I did not starve that one long enough with water and must have accidentally watered it without thinking when in a rush some mornings?!

Damn it!! Lol!

DENDROBUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE WITH SOME SURPRISES IN STORE

Some pictures of my Dendrobium vuctoriae-reginae which now look to be showing signs of many more flower buds that the previous two?!

Remember also that each of these can have between one and 4, 5, or 6 flowers and the most I had previous was two from one?!

First fllowering was one flower and second flowering was three flowers from two sources. I look to have 4 or 5 dark patches just from one cane and another cane looks to have at least one and another new growth at the top, where it was previously cut to produce more plants, growing upwards in line with the cane?!

This could be another flower bud but I do not think it is. Had I had longer experience with this beautiful species of Orchid I would probably know for sure but due to its diminutive size I am going with another cane or to be precise a KEIKI!

Now a keiki on this would be cool! I also want to order another one of these at some point and likely another Vanda coerulea.


In both these pictures you will see an area slightly above the second node which should be flowers buds. But better seen in the photo below is the tiny growth coming from the TOP of the cane which I believe to be a keiki or a whole new plant growth. Once big enough and has around two to four leaves this will produce roots around its base and once there are at least three of these of at least an inch long I can remove this plant to another pot, therefore starting a second separate plant?!

COOLIOS!!

Arrows point to the areas of dark patched where buds normally appear from. Only in ones or twos previously but this time around could be very different. 


Once these two new canes have gone beyond the shortest of the shortest of the previous canes this will become quite a specimen indeed. After that the flowers it will produce should equal or exceed a majority of those you see in pictures.

DENDROBIUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE OLD PHOTOS

Some odd pictures of one of my two species Orchids that are blue.

This should start producing flower buds in about 4 weeks time?!

Fingers crossed I will get several flowers. First flower I got one and the second time I got TWO.

LMAO.





DENDROBIUM NOBILE OLD PICTURES

Here are some bad quality pictures taken with an old smart phone a couple of years back of my Dendrobium nobile.

DENDROBIUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE's PURPLE LEAF SPOTS


Must be a trait of this type I am unfamiliar with, though I see it in other Orchids and even British Wild Orchids all the time!

But without me noticing Purple Pigments started appearing and forming into spots!!

Looks damn cool if I do say so myself?!

Should start budding up soon as just all the others now have, should produce new growths too and I will re-pot this one very soon!





DENDROBIUM KINGIANUM PUTS ON ITS OWN SHOW

Well there are STILL buds yet to open but here you go!!!

Well not quite as many as I have expected but maybe that is because some buds have not opened I do not know but it is still impressive just the same?!

LMAO!

DENDROBIUM NOBILE ONE

A Dendrobium nobile I saved from certain death and started off with much less purple in the flowers when I first had it?!

Strange, lol.

Dendrobium nobile - White, Edged Purple BUDS

This is my original Dendrobium nobile and as you can see and like my cream kingianum this will be open in a couple of days.

This one has white flowers with purple petal tips.







Dendrobium kingianum CREAM BUDS

Well it is about to POP!!

Well actually if you look very carefully you will see that it has already started!!

But there are a hell of a lot of buds on here and ore appearing all the time so should look pretty good when they are all out, which would be a couple of days only.
