Dendrobium aff. dichaeaoides


Dendrobium aff. dichaeaoides, originally uploaded by Duane McDowell.

The first time I saw one of these, it nearly took my breath away. The foliage is awesome, and the flower colors are so elegant.
Oxyglossum type from Papua New Guinea. There are apparently several species in this complex. No idea which one this is, but it's delicious.
Each bloom lasts for several months on the plant.
