A little gem! This difficult to pronounce primary hybrid is a wonderful miniature that has the best features of both parents! The pod parent, Den. jenkinsii, is a miniature with a short cascading inflorescence that produces few, relatively large yellow flowers that can rival the size of the cane that produced them. The pollen parent, Den. aggregatum (syn. lindleyi) is similar to Den. jenkinsii except it has larger pseudobulbs and produces longer cascading inflorescences with many large yellow flowers. Den. aggregatum requires a cool dry winter rest to ensure a spring blooming, and has a reputation of being difficult to bloom. The hybrid is easier to grow and bloom. Den. jenkinsii keeps the size compact and miniature, while the Den. aggregatum keeps the flower count high (up to 6) and flower size large. Its fragrant yellow blooms emerge from old and newly matured growths in spring. It does not require the cool dry winter rest in order to bloom—just keep slightly drier in late fall and winter.
This charming plant is the perfect answer for those who love Den. aggregatum but don’t have the space or the luck for blooming it. Ideal for growing on a bright windowsill or under lights. It is weather tolerant, capable of temperature extremes but favoring intermediate to warm. Can be grown in a pot or mounted. Perfect for growing mounted on trees outdoors in warm climates where winters are frost free. Grow alongside novelty Phals as it has similar requirements. Highly Recommended!
