I'm glad you figured out what your plant is! I hate not knowing the name of something.

I like Dendrobiums, but the regular ones get too big for me. I have quite a few of the mini Dends, though. Some are doing well, some are not, but I'm trying to figure out what they want.

Here's a Dendrobium that I searched for quite a while before I found it. You know how I love fuzzy plants. This is Dendrobium senile. It's just covered in fuzz! Supposed to be fairly difficult to grow, but it's doing fine for me. Putting out 3 new growths, too, but I don't think I gave it enough light during the winter to bloom this spring. Maybe, but I doubt it.
