Dendrobium cuthbertsonii bicolor

Dendrobium cuthbertsonii is a plant I've posted many times.  The flowers come in a rainbow of colors and I have many different plants of this choice species.  This is one of my favorites with huge and beautiful bi-colored flowers.  It is also a smaller plant as this species goes.  None of them are large but some form a creeping mat while others have tiny upright growths.  This is more the creeping type.  The species is from New Guinea and requires cool temperatures and high humidity.

  2. That one has excellent color. The ones with strong color separation seem to be very hard to find.
    tetraploid from T. Perlite?

    1. Indeed a tetroploid from Tom, but it actually came with another plant, a plain pink, so it must have been from the same cross and been a seedling that didn't get separated.

  3. Very nice. I just heard he still has some under lock and key. Perhaps I can get the code from someone.

    1. I got mine from him at the AOS meeting in Portland two years ago. They were not cheap!
