The "Lash Out" purchase was this plant, though you would not guess it to look at it. It is almost certainly either Dendrobium densiflorum (see the picture top right) or Dendrobium thyrsiflorum (see picture bottom right). Both plants I have always liked, and there is one struggling on for years in the glasshouse in Murchison. This one has 5 nodes swelling up so it should be s spectacular sight soon. I paid the princely sum of 1,200 baht ($40 Australian) for this specimen plant. I will go hungry for a few days (as if!).
