Dendrobium seranicum

I have two plants of this species, one plant awarded, the flowers of which are not quite as brightly colored as this.  It is a spring bloomer and blooms well on a rather attractive plant.  The individual growths are 8 cm and the flowers 3 cm.  The species is from the highlands of Papua New Guinea and belongs to the Oxyglossum group of Dendrobiums.





The other plant has flowers that are a slightly paler pink and the lip does not have the bright red tip.  Both, however, fall within the range of variation for this species.  The photo below shows the flowers of the other plant, Dendrobium seranicum 'Brendan' CBR/AOS.

    1. It's a lovely little plant, isn't it. Many of the Dendrobiums are rather awkward things, but even the plant is quite attractive on this one.

  2. Hi, Ron! I missed some of your recent post, I'm sorry! But I'm very impressed with this beautiful Dendrobium species. I didn't know it. Indeed, the flowers are amazing, but the plant itself is very charming! I love it!

    All the best!

    1. Appreciate your looking and commenting, Sergio, when you have time to do so. This species is cool growing but with cool temperatures quite easy to grow and flower.

    1. Thanks ever so much for commenting. The form of the all the Oxyglossum Dendrobiums is similar and they come in the brightest of colors as well.
