Default Black Haired Dendrobiums

Last night I saw a different looking dendrobium Judith Hakayama. It looked
like someone took two large white catt blossoms and grafted them on top of
the cane of the dendrobium. Each flower was about 5 inches across. A large
plant of this in bloom would be quite a show!

This is one of the negrohirusute (Black Haired) orchids. In my collection
I have Frosty Dawn that has been is spectacular bloom since mid February and
still making a great show. Frosty Dawn has proven simple to grow. The only
problem is it gets tall and I tend to knock it over if I'm not careful.

Does anyone have other members of this interesting group of Dendrobiums that
have impressed them? I'd like to get a couple more but can't decide which
ones to look for.

Good Growing,
Gene
