I purchased this beautiful and lightly fragrant orchid at the American Orchid Society's gift shop. Their headquarters and a small but amazing botanic garden are located in Delray Beach right next to The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Since it's only about twenty minutes from here I make regular visits. Although, I haven't been there in a while. This orchid has bloomed every year since I bought it in 2003 with no extra care. I've re-potted it once. I don't really fuss over my orchids that much. Most of the ones I grow are endemic to areas with a similar climate to Florida, with distinct rainy and dry seasons. This helps with re-blooming and makes care easy.

That's a beauty!
Your new blog looks good. The header with the bamboo looks great.
The Dendrobium Orchid is fantastic, such a strong yellow. I like Dendrobiums they grow easily on my trees and flower freely every spring.
Thanks for visiting my blog. This a lovely orchid, ad I am a big desert rose fan, too. Mine recently set see, which i planted and they all germinated!
