Lynette Banks
http://www.sborchid.com/plantdisplay...code=XBO093143 I might have a
chance of seeing one bloom sometime in my life with a hybrid.
I have an xdelicatum that finally started to grow from a keiki I got from an
Aussie fellow OrchidSafarier about 10 yrs ago. (Probably about the same time
you got your speciosum from Venger.) Hmmm, come to think of it, I've not had
much luck with any of my Dens. (Probably the reason why I never wanted to
try them in the first place) All the rest periods, dry cool bright periods,
low N periods etc. Never wanted to keep it all straight. But enough of my
bellyaching.

Don't apologize, Dave!
I've taken a look at most of the links you forwarded. (You trying to
convert me to a den grower?)

Ray, you're probably sick of my recommending Ross Harvey's Cedarvale
website.
But Ross *does* grow outstanding speciosums. So have a look at
http://www.cedarvaleorchids.com/html...endrobium_.asp
That article is fairly general, covering most of the Dendrocoryne section
of
genus Dendrobium. But it's certainly relevant to speciosumns &
kingianums.
What Ross doesn't mention is that most of his larger speciosums (and they
get
pretty big) are in big saucers, bowls or whatever you want to call them.
Any of the Victorian cohort want to add more?

I don't want to go with a larger hanging basket, as the weight of the
damned
thing will collapse the greenhouse structure! I was considering a
non-S/H
use of PrimeAgra in a large plastic pot.
