Dendrobium trantuanii
|
Dendrobium trantuanii is an orchid from Vietnam that was discovered as recently as 2003. Although the plant is small, its flowers are showy and about 5 cm (2 inch) wide; it is amazing that no one ‘discovered’ it earlier.
Arne received this plant as a gift from the Maryland Orchid Society in 2018. Not much is available about its culture. He is growing it in a fine bark mix, in a small net basket at intermediate temperature. Arne keeps it somewhat drier between the watering in winter.

| A) Out in the sun on April 5th. One flower and two buds. |
 |
| B) Symmetrical bloom. |
 |
| C) By April 18th, all three flowers were opened. |
 |
| D) Although the flowers are very 'fancy' looking, I don't smell any fragrant. If there is any, it is extremely mild. |
 |
| E) A final close up of the flower. I hope you enjoyed this picture. |
Until my next post, please have a good day and take care out there!
