Dendrobium seranicum 'Brendan'


It seems that all I've been posting recently are Dendrobiums, but in any case, here's another from the island of Seram in the Moluccas, Dendrobium seranicum.  The 3 cm flowers come in pairs on the 8cm growths with their narrow channeled leaves.  The plant belongs to the Oxyglossum section of the genus, Dendrobium and is one of the species in that section that is not from the island of New Guinea.

Dendrobium seranicum 'Brendan'

This is my awarded plant of the species.  Dendrobium seranicum is from the island of Seram in the Moluccas, loves cool temperatures and high light, has very long lasting flowers on a miniature plant, and is one of the Oxyglossum Dendrobiums.  The plant is 8 cm tall and the flowers are 3 cm, usually produced in pairs from the top of the pseudobulbs and between the two or three succulent leaves.
