Orchid in bloom

9 years ago

This Dendrobium canaliculatum is absolutely loaded with flowers now. Growing on a Melaleuca, their favourite host plant. I've had it a few years now and it seems to get better each year. The other ones I have, D. affine, finished flowering several weeks ago. Now they're loaded with seed capsules waiting to burst when the wet season arrives. Funnily enough, the D. canaliculatum, even though it flowers more prolifically, hasn't produced a seed pod yet.

Thanks FW. I was hoping they would self-sow around the place, but they've got to seed before they can do that, LOL.

Wow, so beautiful. I'm so glad you shared that. I'm still waiting on mine to bloom. No idea on ID either. Was cutting three years ago, a gift, never bloomed for original owner. I hope mine is half as beautiful as yours.
