Dend. antennatum Male
Default Dend. antennatum

This large guy is one of my favorite dendrodiums. It blooms in winter every year. The flowers can last for more than one month.
The species, however, does not like cold weather here. I killed one plant several years ago when the super cold front hit here.

Of many of the dendrobiums, the antelopes are one of my favorites, also.
This one is slender and graceful and has a lovely lip
Congrats on your flowering success .. they are beauitous!

Very pretty flowers. How big does this species get? Are the flowers fragrant?

The plant itself is about one meter tall.
The flowers are fragrant, especially in the sunny daytime.

They are hot or warm growers.
But in northern Taiwan where i live, the night temperature in winter is sometimes less than 50 °F, if cold rain accompanies, damage would occur.
