NOBILE TYPE DENDROBIUMS 
For years our fine collection of NOBILE Dendrobiums has brought 
exclamations from orchid lovers as they have viewed them at the South 
Florida Orchid Society’s International Orchid Shows. This collection was 
made up of one plant of a kind originally. Now, for the first time, we are 
able to offer strong, flowering size divisions in limited numbers, as well 
as some divisions of a size to flower next year. 
Nobile types should be dried off thoroughly once the summer growth 
has matured. We find it best to hang them at this time. In areas farther 
north they may be placed in a cool house until the flower buds begin to 
develop. Here we give them a long artificial dormancy through keeping 
them dry to set the buds.
