Dendrobium loddigesii 'Crownpoint'

[gnathaniel]

I went to Carolina Orchids last year to pick up some unusual Bulbophyllum species, and while I was walking around the greenhouses with Tom I commented in amazement at their huge specimen Den. loddigesii in bloom. He turned to the workbench behind him, reached into a big plastic bucket, and handed me a large tangle of loddigesii trimmings.

I mounted two of the clumps on cork and put the other one in a basket. Two I gave away to friends and kept one of the mounts. Not a ton of blooms this year, but it's still one of my favorites!
