Sounds interesting. Have you taken a pic of yours, Al? I'd love to see what

Al,
Found this at www.sdorchids.com

leaf sheaths and pseudobulbs often apparent, leading to the popular name
nigrohirsutae. Flowers usually white, up to 4 inches across, two to three
together from near the end of the pseudobulb. Long lasting. Species such
as Den. bellatulum, Den. dearii, Den. draconis, Den. formosum, Den.
infundibulum, Den. lowii, Den. lyonii, Den. margaritaceum, Den. sanderae
and Den. schuetzii.

Culture Intermediate to cool year round, 50 to 60 F nights, maximum 85 F
days. Water and fertilize when growing; give a slight short rest (dry)
when growth is completed. Keep barely moist until growth starts again.
