A few months back my wife came home from a garage sale with a single Dendrobium cane, handed it to me and said she thinks it's an orchid... I stuck it to a bottlebrush tree wood mount with some sphagnum moss and left it to do its own thing. A couple of weeks later it shot out a new growth which rocketed to about 50 cm. Recently this Dendrobium sent out a beautiful display of pink blooms. I have no idea what the hybrid is, but it is quite showy.
In addition, I am currently awaiting the first blooms from my Habenaria regnieri. I plan to cross this primary hybrid with Habenaria medusa to introduce some interesting lip detail (hopefully). I will update the photo below with one for the opened bloom before I pollinate it.
