Dendrobium kingianum family photo
My partner, who completely lacks the orchid appreciation gene, refers to my Dendrobium kingianums as "the weed collection," but I like to think of them as the horticultural version of tribbles, the prolific creatures from the original Star Trek series that tended to reproduce exponentially (and alarmingly). They're trouble free and consistently produce a great flower show every spring after a cool/cold and dryish winter rest (and then, for a short time, they cease to be derided as "Australian dandelions").
