Dendrobium gratiosissimum
I bought this one in March of 2012, at the Atlanta show from Andy's Orchids. It was in bud at the time, and did go on to bloom. But this is my first blooming, right on schedule. ISOPE lists this one as Section Dendrobium, and I give it the same culture as D. nobile. So, it is mounted, in the summer, good light, lots of water and fertlizer. During the cooler months, less water, no fertilizer and brighter light. I wasn't able to get a close-up that showed the purple stripes deep in the lip, but they are there. Nice light fragrance to it as well.
