Dendrobium williamsonii - Orchid Board

This one has opened two flowers, two more to go. Not bad for a plant that has 7 canes!! Total height of the plant is less than 8 inches. Flowers are approx. just over 1 inch.

These are sweetly fragrant. And the canes have tiny black hairs covering them, which gives the plant a fuzzy look.

So cute, Shannen!
Is this one a cool-grower too?

Sue, Jay's says "small sized, warm to cool growing" - does that make it another for your list?!??

I'd love to be able to let mine get as large as the plant IOSPE shows: IOSPE PHOTOS

I'm thinking I might be able to handle that!

Really neat..love the colour in the throat

Thanks for looking everyone! I really like this one - yes, that throat is awesome, and really does glow in real life. Its scented, and the canes are really cool even when its not in flower. What more could you ask?? I'm growing it in a shallow bonsai pot, and it looks great!!

Pretty flower!

Er ... Shakkai, maybe you should show that pic on Jay's site to you den.

Does it require a cold dry dormancy?

You are just such an enabler. Now another one for my spring list! Deciduous?

shakkai · #10 03-26-2008, 03:52 PM

No, Ross, its evergreen. One of the Nigrohirsutae (Now Formosae) group: hirsute dens

I think this one would fill that spot you have free very nicely!! One of my goals is to find more plants for you!! Maybe I should modify my user title??
