This has just opened the last day or so, it is Dendrobium Keiki Chip. It is Dendrobium Micro Chip X Dendrobium Little Atro. This is blooming on a plant that is 5" high, minus the inflorescence.


Flower measures 1 3/8" wide and is a rich creamy white base color blushed Apple green. The flower looks really large on such a small plant. This bloomed underlights before, sometime around Thanksgiving I think. What a sweetie! Angel
The lip is whiter with less green blush with the side lobes having this rich amethyst web like pattern on them. The front lobe also with rich amethyst markings.
Mine is in a 3" pot with straight sphagnum moss.
