I was a bit bummed too. Maybe I need to smell it at different times of the day. It is such an adorable tiny thing. The fragrance would definitely out it over the top.

Very nice! It appears to be related to the nobile type dens with the dark red center spot. What do you think?

Very pretty, all the colors on this cross are inherited from Den. trantuanii (Den. monophyllum is just plain yellow) and the flowers ARE kind of cuppy.

I am anxiously waiting for the first flower(s) on my little Den. trantuanii seedling I purchased about a year ago.

Meant to say the flowers on Den. trantuanii are cuppy, so don`t be disappointed if yours turn out to be as well!

Harvey - I agree. It reminds me of a nobile. I am pretty sure the center color is from the trantuanii. This hybrid is much, much easier to bloom than a nobile. My nobile just looks at me year after year. No flowers or keikis. Only new grow.

Eve - You will love the trantuanii when it blooms. I have two. The color is delicate but the substance is heavy. This is not the best picture but here is a bloom from a while back: Dendrobium trantuanii

Nice

Hi, the correct parentage of this cross is Dendrobium [trantuanii x monilforme, not monophyllum]. It is usually fragrant in the morning Leon Glicenstein
