a gorgeous new addition to this once monotypic genus, thick leathery 3" light green leaves with a mini phalaenopsis like growth habit, up to three semi-pendant spikes, each producing up to five fabulous oversized 2-1/2" flowers, pure glistening white blooms have well rounded overlapping segments with a three lobed lip and 3-1/2" nectary.

this rare seldom-seen miniature has closely alternating thick 2" flattened green spotted purple leaves; blooms appear on several short dense compact spikes, the beautiful well rounded 1/2" cuppy flowers are soft pink.

Totally awesome mini species with 1/2" tightly clustering flattened bulbs that carry 2 tiny oval bluish grey-green leaves, single showy 1" flowers are wide open and very showy and are waxy snow white with a bright yellow callus on the lip. Reputation is difficult to grow but if you know its habitat it is easy to grow- treat it like a Laelia anceps- very bright and let dry between waterings, handles temperature extremes well but likes to cool down at night- sorry to most of you Floridians and fellow deep southerners.

a gorgeous easy-growing miniature antelope-type Dendrobium, this drought-resistant plant has the appearance of a succulent and is mounted on its native paperbark Melaleuca tree, round 1" bulbs are topped with 3 or 4 narrow semi-cylindrical 5" leaves, several 18" spikes appear in late winter bearing 2 or 3 dozen flowers each, twisted sepals and upright petals (hence "antelope") are light green with yellow tips, lip is white with rich mauve markings, very fragrant
a large pendant species with up to 6' long canes with shiny green deciduous 5" leaves, gorgeous blooms emerge in clusters from maturing canes, the rounded 2" flowers are brilliant golden yellow with two large dark blood red oval spots on a wavy lip, very fragrant
medium to large-sized plant that can become almost gargantuan with age, this extremely easy grower blooms off of old and new pseudobulbs alike, and is very floriferous; two-inch flowers appear on multiple, arching and pendant spikes carrying up to 25 flowers each in spring/early summer; extremely fragrant blossoms are bright yellow with a darker yellow lip; this plant absolutely thrives outdoors in coastal southern California and other warm climates.

adorable miniature, clumping and quickly becoming specimens, 2" canes bear numerous narrow 2" leaves, each cane produces many short densely flowered spikes that literally bury the plant with blooms, the 1/2" flowers are white with a lime-green lip

a delightful miniature version of Den. aggregatum with creeping 1-1/2" bulbs with a 1" shiny green oval leaf, short drooping spikes each producing 1-3 brilliant golden orange flattened 1 1/4" flowers, quickly forms a compact specimen
charming dwarf, strongly pendant 15" canes with beautiful bright-green foliage, canes can produce blooms for up to 10 years, clusters of long-lasting 1-1/2" tubular flowers range in color from brilliant red to vivid purple, blooms continuously, grows moist and accepts a broad temperature range
easy-growing dwarf plant with branching slender pseudobulbs up to 5" long, produces several fragrant long-lasting 2" pink flowers with a fringed purple-rose lip with an orange disc
yet another Dendrobium with an incredible growth habit, this plant has pendant pseudobulbs, as the name suggests, that are swollen and ring-like at the nodes, making the plant look like a green, bony hand when it goes deciduous in winter; excellent tricolor blooms are fragrant, 2-1/2" or larger, and have white sepals and petals with lilac tips and a white lip with a huge golden spot in the center of it; easy to grow
pendant 10" to 18" canes with deciduous 3" leaves, leafless canes produce short spikes at the old leaf nodes, each node has 2 to 3 very showy blooms, the 2" flowers have rose-pink sepals and petals and contrast nicely with the large pale yellow fuzzy trumpet-shaped lip, lightly veined purple, very fragrant
Growing Tip:
Cool dry winter to induce flowering, moist in growth season.
this species is a paler form of D. primulinum, and instead of having light pink sepals and petals with a light yellow lip, it has very pale pink or whitish sepals and petals with a white lip with interior purple markings that is equally fuzzy, fragrant, and tubular; compact, pendant growths become deciduous in winter; relatively simple plant to grow and bloom well
this orchid has a growth habit with little or no resemblance to that of other dendrobiums, looking almost more like a miniature Hoya than an orchid, with long, trailing pendant growths that carry single, spear shaped, succulent leaves which are evenly spaced along each growth; mature specimens are truly incredible plants to be in the presence of; 1" waxy bloom has bright green sepals and petals with a pure white lip with purple markings in the center, fragrance of green apples
