Dendrobium crumenatum

[nancy]

aka "Dove Orchid" - these can get to be wild-looking plants, with keikis and roots shooting out randomly. Over the space of a few days, the buds swell; flowers open at dawn, and are pretty well wilted by mid-afternoon.
I've seen these described as "gloriously fragrant" - yes, if you like lugustrum (gak!).
Still, nice to catch them with the camera! I notice that this flower has a few little pals on it.
