Dendrobium x superbiens

A little over a year ago I bought this Dendrobium hybrid from JRN Nursery in Houston, TX.  It did not have a label of its name but its flowers were very pretty and unusual in comparison to the other Dendrobium hybrids that are commonly sold.  It was blooming profusely and got many compliments when on display at my friends business.  After it finished blooming I brought it home and soon it bloomed again. Since that day it has not stopped blooming - it will send out spikes from old and new canes.  After a little reseach I found out that is most likely Dandrobium x superbiens, a natural hybrid of D. discolor and D. bigibbum.  I am so glad I have this orchid to brighten these cold winter days...
