I got so lucky with this orchid! Got in online on some auction for very little money. They previous owner said it never bloomed for her.
I decided to get it and give it a go, since I like those dendrobiums that look like little palm trees.
Dendrobium Kingianum var silcockii
It turned out that there are two plants in the pot. I put the separately in their own pots: one in traditional bark, one in semi-hydroponic pebbles, to see which one will grow better. They both grow and the both blooms multiple times a year! I have no idea what that other person did wrong. They are just so easy to grow :)
Besides that it has the flowers in the most pure white, with beautiful purple markings on the lip, during the day they smell like honey. And it is sooo beautiful and intense fragrance it can fill up the room. See how tiny the flowers are? But each cane can bloom from a few spots. It happened that it grew a flowers spoke from the center a few times one by one. Had no clue they can actually do that.
One of my favourite orchids I own. Look at all the sparkles! :)
