Dendrobium tobanse

A not so common Dendrobium specie, native to North Sumatra, I got this recently from WL after seeing my friend Janet post a photo of it. It was already budding when I left for my travels three weeks ago. I had expected the flowers to have bloomed and faded by the time I got back but what a nice surprise. Two in full bloom and another two buds about to bloom. I think this plant will be a challange to grow but don't try, never know ! This specimen is from the lower 500m-1000m altitude zone so hopefully they will adapt better.
