D. NOBILE 
This is a beautiful Spring flowering orchid from Burma. It has been a 
favorite in orchid collections since the early 1800's. The flowers are lavender 
with deep purple eyes. Flowers are about 2”’-3” across. Nobile can be flowered 
January through April. Plants should be kept cool and dry during late fall and 
early winter, then commence watering in January to start buds. By delaying 
watering, a succession of flowers can be had with different plants for 3 months.

The above two crosses represent the largest strains of Dendrobium Phalaenopsis 
flowers we know about. The parents have produced canes three to four feet 
long and as many as three sprays of flowers to a cane. When well grown the 
canes of previous years will throw flower spikes. This is unusual in the orchid 
family for previous years growths seldom produce flowers. Do not over pot Den- 
drobium Phalaenopsis. They like a small pot and good drainage but will take pleniy 
of water when growing. They require the same light as Cattleyas and after reaching 
maturity can be grown out-of-doors in the summer months. Very adaptable 
to the Southern States where they can be grown without a greenhouse. They 
should be brought in when freezing or in low 40's. Mature plants have a 
dormant period after flowering and may be kept in the house plant window during 
the winter and then placed out-of-doors in Spring. They commence to flower 
in September and will continue until Christmas. They rank among the best- 
keeping orchids. (See photograph, p. 27, 1951 Spring Catalog.)
