Dendrobium 'Christmas chime my dark eyed beauty' . So this one has been a struggle to keep alive and get to flowering. It's been three years without and I had to build a special enclosure to keep the humidity high enough. So you can imagine how pleased I was when the buds started opening.

I have one that's not flowered for a couple of years.

Basically, feed it and put it somewhere with plenty of light and don't let it dry out during the summer. That way, it should build up enough energy to flower again. But you have to let it go dormant and cool for a period, so it makes another bud in the bulb. Having said that, they seem to fade away.
