Dendrobium fimbriatum var. oculatum
Tall cane-like Dendrobium of striking orange flowers, this variety has a dark mark in the throat that makes it more impressive. Also impressive is the strong, wonderful perfume of cloves the flowers exhale.
I have always heard that it only produces flowers on mature pseudo bulbs of the previous year, but it is not true. My plant has eight canes and produced blossoms on seven, including on those canes that already had produced flowers before. It receives plenty of light, water and fertilizer on a year-round basis.
