    I will get my daughtr to post a pic tomorrow, unfortunately its not in flower aparently it flowers winter/spring, it doesnt look like these ones, thanks Dove, my book says dendrobians are bamboo orchids, but its nothing like, its tiny,with tiny scented white flowers halfway down the stem, the stems do look exactly like bamboo, its gone crazy in a few weeks.

    My book says bamboo orchids are dendrobians, but the flower pictures look nothing like the ones this had, and its talks of "bulbials" none on here, so it will get aerial roots later on, none at the moment, thanks Philippa.they have grown HUGELY since I bought them.
