Dendrobium sulphureum is a high-altitude species from New Guinea in the
Oxyglossum section of the genus
.
Like most of the other plants in the section, it needs cool
temperatures, good light and humidity, and also like the species in the
section has fan-shaped flowers in bright but unusual color combinations,
in this case, pale yellow flowers with a dark green column and an
orange mid-lobe. The canes are 13 cm long and the 3 cm flowers come two
or three at time and last many months.
Even after the leaves fall from
the canes they continue to produce flowers.
Interestingly unique flower. It is a beautiful display, I haven't seen anything quite like it. Love it, Ron.
