Dendrobium crumenatum

Good lord, what's the rush?

Seems like it would be a bad thing for flowers to only be open for such a short time. . .they're gonna miss all the good pollinators. lol

They're lovely!

Here this orchid is called a Dove Orchid , suppose crumenatum is a bit of a mouthfull .
This is a pic I took a few days ago of Brians clump growing in a basket fern . This grew on the base of a large tree fern that has since died . There are many other orchids growing here . Den fimbriatum
various vandas and a spider orchid Arachnis something . A Hoya twines around these to keep them from falling over .

We got 12 hours day light in our climate .
There fore these flowers can last for whole a day.
These days we got heavy rain fall and a temperature drop
for a week .This is a wonderful time for these orchids again they are blooming here.
I got seven buds .

That's nice, Thakshila! Here in Brazil you have to be near the plant all the time when it is in bud otherwise you miss the flowers!

I have a plant of this species up high in my greenhouse, and didn't notice any flowers until one day I saw a bunch of dried flowers! After that I actually saw a few fresh flowers........This is definitely one that you have be alert for...

I'm looking for info on winter temps for the crumenatum. It's getting down into the 40's now, do I need to bring it inside ?
