Mystery Dendrobium

Late August 2014.  The plants have been growing well but they were also, at some point, attacked by spider mites.  This can be seen by the silvery patches which are most prominent on the undersides of the leaves.  It appears that the infestation has gone but for good measure, I have sprayed the plants with neem oil which I recently managed to locate in Hong Kong.







May 2014.  Got this from a friend end of last year and it was dormant during the winter. No idea what type it is, but it is finally producing new shoots.... All the plants were originally from one clump which I separated out.  As ever with the dendrobiums, they looked pretty dead to begin with!
