ArtSnacks Challenge | February 2017

Lots of goodies in this month’s box: Pentalic Drawing Set (graphite in HB, 2B, and 6B, medium and soft charcoal, and white pastel), KRINK K-70 permanent ink marker, ZIG Clean Color FB (carmine red), and Stabilo 68 (blue and green). I really wanted to focus on the pencils, as the others had similar items in other recent boxes. Been a really long time since I used graphite and I’ve never used charcoal. This set is lovely. (Washi tape did not come with the box.)

Dendrobium cretaceum (in China known as Bao Chun Shi Hu)

Dendrobium Frosty Dawn (Dawn Maree x Lime Frost)
°°°
A complex hybrid within the hirsute (or Formosan) section of Dendrobium. This hybrid can produce variable flowers, but most are a shade of creamy-green with contrasting red/orange lip. Flowers tend to open lighter in color with the lip intensifying with age. Like many hybrids with Dendrobium christyanum heritage, flowers can be sweetly fragrant in the morning

Dendobium apphyllum is native to Southeast Asia and another example of a monsoonal climate orchid that requires a dry winter rest to insure springtime flowering
°°°
It belongs to a small group of related species that have some similar attributes in flower shape and morphology but look very distinct vegetatively. Some refer to it as synonymous with Den. peirardii and Den. cucullatum but I have grown all species in the group and I prefer to keep my tags separate since they’re very easily distinguished even out of bloom!⠀
°°°⠀
This specimen is growing in a 5” plastic pot and is approximately 6’ long. It has grown a few “keikis” (baby plantlets) from it’s previous year’s canes (these are seen lower on the canes). These are an identicle clone of the mother plant and can be removed and repotted on their own once they reach adequate size. I prefer to keep them on for 1 to 2 years of growth and then take them off when the orchid is repotted. Did you notice the leaves of the Plebodium aureum (Blue Star Fern) that has started growing in its pot? These can be a nuisance crowding out the Orchid and using up valuable water and fertilizer and should definitely be removed when given the chance

Can you believe this orchid hasn’t been watered since December 1, 2018? (Today is 2/26/19)⠀
°°°⠀
Many orchids grow in locations which experience extreme seasonal dryness In fact, there are many thousands of orchids which inhabit areas that experience tropical monsoonal climates which can go many weeks without any rainfall. A great example of this are the Himalayas and it’s plant rich mountains and valleys. Dendrobium aggregatum grows in an area of extreme wetness during the growing season (Spring and Summer) and gradually increasing dryness in the Fall, followed by a period of cooler temperatures and complete dryness in the Winter⠀
°°°⠀
Understanding seasonal variation like this will help us mimic these seasonal patterns to keep our plants healthy and happy and in turn get wonderful displays of color like this ☀️⠀

Most amazing florarium, found at the Walkingfarm blog.
It comes with assembly instructions :)

No water, but absolutely breathtaking – I hope you don’t mind me posting dry stuff, too :)
