Dendrochilum wenzelii (yellow form)
This is the yellow form of Dendrochilum wenzelii. The plant is growing in a 4-inch plastic basket with New Zealand sphagnum moss as the media. I obtained this plant 3-4 years ago from H&R Nurseries. The plant is hung outside under 50 percent shade cloth. After the flowers die off, I plan to replant this into a 6-inch plastic basket with sphagnum moss. The plant seems to like sphagnum.

Thank you all for the nice comments. The flowers shown in the photo are a week old. They will start drying gradually over the next several days, from the base of the flower stem outward. |

One Year Later (January 22, 2017)
This is the yellow form of Dendrochilum wenzelii blooming one year later (Jan 22, 2017). It is still in a 4-inch plastic basket with New Zealand sphagnum moss as the media.
