If you were to ask me which of my plants I think about most, it would have to be the two Dendrobium kingianums. Dendrobium kingianum grows in eastern Australia. It is fragrant, needs bright light and needs a dry winter rest.
The first is a specimen in a coconut husk basket. I potted it by washing off all the bark and dropping it in the basket two years ago. There is no medium at all inside the basket. It has grown nicely and bloomed but not with what I would call an adequate number of flowers. 
I had it outside for September, October and November but wimped out at the first cold night and brought it back inside.
The other has been neglected and now the keikis have keikis. I am going to remove the keikis and repot it. I have thought about saving some of the keikis, but I doubt that anybody wants them for the cost of shipping them.
I have read as much as I can find about them but am not confident in this year's bloom.
