Dendrobium hellwigianum

Dendrobium hellwigianum
This is another cool-temperature Dendrobium from the highlands of New Guinea. The flowers bloom down among the pencil-like leaves and this plant had over a hundred flowers the last time it bloomed (actually it is still blooming since the flowers last four to six months). The colors are typical of the Dendrobiums in the Oxyglossum section, bold and in striking combinations.

How unique. Do you grow all of these orchids or did you photograph them on your travels?

We do both, Esther. The orchids I've been posting lately are all tropical orchids that I grow at home, but I also photograph native orchids when we travel around the state and further. Most such cannot be grown at home.
