Orchid of the day: Dendrobium lindleyi

Dendrobium lindleyi



A) Flowers currently in bloom.

Our Dendrobium lindleyi honored us by producing beautiful flowers twice this year. The first time was in January where we had about twenty six flowers. We are happy to say that this time, we have close to eighty flowers.


B) We noticed in March, three flower stems emerging.

C) Here you can see one of the flower stems.

D) Another new stem

E) By April 25th, two of the flower stems had opened flowers.

F) A close up of the new flower buds.

G) The bright yellow hue of the flowers.

H) Even with unopened flowers, this orchid is very impressive.

I) All three stems showing the different shade of orange-yellow- yellowish green.

J) It is clear that the brightest shade of yellow is to the left of this photo. The newer the flowers, the more greenish-yellow the flowers are.

This particular orchid is known to produce thousands of cascading flowers. It will be sometime before we get to that point...but we are happy to have this opportunity to enjoy this beauty. Happy to share this post with you all. Until next time, have a great week.
