Today is a very special day, not because the sun, Nordföhn and flying leaves, but because our orchid No.1 pushes a panicle. How many flowers are there, you can not even see (perhaps only one). It is called Dendrobium atroviolaceum and is our absolute favorite, since we have seen them bloom forty years ago in the Palm Garden in Frankfurt for the first time.
Since then we have always tried to get one, have already twice, and they then killed. Just over two years we have bought with Riboni Varese two young plants in about two years would have to flourish, he said, and lo and behold ... The second is not so good, for I must now quickly find a better place in one of my two cases.
When it blooms, is a photo!
