Dendrobium Spectabile is finally FLOWERING!!!!!

I know this blog is probably tired of hearing about the step by step of Denrobium spectabile, but the anticipation is over because it is FLOWERING! The greenhouse called us over the weekend, and we ran right over to pick it up so we can admire it. We are really really hoping the flowers will last until the orchid club meeting on Feb 10th. I think it can do it. I will give it pep talks. We have been misting it, to try and make the flowers last longer.

 And now for the pictures!!! Aren't they crazy looking?
