Bought from RF at Fairchild Show, went with Donna. Three vendors complimented me on the plant as I was carrying it around. http://www.orchidspecies.com/denbullenianum.htm
Lots of ribbons and flowers. 2016 media rotted out and lots of roots died. Repotted into ecoweb and split off a division and a couple of keikis.
RF says
Warm all year, does not like cold. Under 60 degrees needs protection.
Cattleya light all year long
Water all year, slightly drier in winter
Keep tips of new growth dry or they will rot
Pots, basket, or mount: needs fast draining media.

Growing notes:
Bullen's Dendrobium [English Gardener with Low & Co. 1800's]
Flower Size 3/4" [1.9 cm]
This medium sized, cool to hot growing, epiphytic species is found in the Philippines and Vietnam in evergreen lowland forests at elevations up to 1000 meters with slender, slightly fractiflex, attenuate below, many noded, sulcate stems covered with sheaths and carrying submembraneous, ovate-oblong, obtuse leaves that are unequally bilobed apically and have clusters of orange flowers with red lines that arise on short to 2 1/2" [6.25 cm], densely flowered, almost globose inflorescence from all along the older dry canes. It likes some direct sun in the morning and I treat it the same year round. It is normal for leaves to yellow up and fall off in the late summer just before it blooms.
