Dendrobium Flower Baby

Dendrobium Flower Baby is a hybrid of Dendrobium cuthbertsonii with Dendrobium victoria-reginae, a much larger species with thin semi-pendant canes.  In color and patterning the flowers resemble the larger parent but the plant size has been much reduced and the canes have become thick upright pseudobulbs.  I have two plants of this cross, this plant slightly taller than the other with paler flowers.  The plant is 10 cm tall and the flowers 3 cm.

Dendrobium Flower Baby is another hybrid of Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, this with Dendrobium victoria-reginae, a species with thin canes.  The flowers resemble that species also but the plant size has been much reduced and the canes have turned to thick upright pseudobulbs.  The plant (now) is 9 cm tall and the flowers 3 cm.  This, however, is a seedling blooming for the first time and the plant and flowers may be larger on a subsequent blooming.  It will probably have more flowers on subsequent bloomings also.
