| Dendrobium cumulatum rose A pseudobulb epiphyte from Assam, Khasia Hills tropical valleys of Sikkim alt. 1000 m. Pale purple, lip white except the yellow base and sometimes a pink patch near the apex. This is a deciduous species which only flowers on leafless canes. Requires a dry rest after leaf fall which will encourage many flowers at the nodes along the stem. The old canes will continue to produce flowers over several years. |

| Dendrobium dawn maree This is a primary hybrid made in Hawaii in the early 1990s. A beautiful orchid with crystalline long-lasting white flowers and a sweet fragrance! Flowers are produced along the leaf stems generally in the autumn through spring months. Buds first appear as little bumps in the leaf axil. Flowers can last for two months or more! The flowers are white with varying amounts of yellow-orange in the lip. Keep plants on the cooler side(65-70), moist and bright, while they are in flower. The striking white and orange flowers are produced along the mature canes. Both parents belong to the Formosae Section of Dendrobiums therefore the younger canes and leaves are covered with interesting fuzzy black hairs. |

| Dendrobium formosum Native to C. Himalaya to Indo-China.An evergreen species however the best flowering response results from exposure to winter night temperatures of 55-60 F. (13-15 Celsius).

| Dendrobium friedercksianum Dendrobium friedricksianum is a stunning and rare species from IndoChina. It is a medium sized plant with long (40cm), club-like, canes with grooves and wrinkles on the silvery exterior. The plant is deciduous and requires a cool, dry, winter "rest". Blooming takes place in early summer when the plant is breaking dormancy and new growth begins. The flower buds appear on long stems in groups of 4 on a short inflorescence at each node of mature canes. The flowers are quite large and are a classic dendrobium shape, similar to Dendrobium nobile, but it is the yellow colour that makes this flower quite special. The sepals and petals are a pale yellow with a hint of cream. The substance is good, so the colour is deep and not semi-translucent as with some species. The flared lip has a darker shade of orange in the centre and the throat and this is punctuated by two dark maroon spots. |

| Dendrobium gracilicaule Native to S. Queensland to New South Wales. Known as the Tiger Orchid. This species is epilithic to epiphytic, favouring littoral rainforest, subtropical rainforest, warm temperate rainforest, dry rainforest, wet sclerophyll forests, dry sclerophyll forests, riparian (stream-side) areas, and rocky crevices and scree. Flowering occurs during winter and spring. Flowers are yellow-green, marked and suffused with red on the outside and are carried on an axillary (some apparently terminal) raceme. Foliage is alternate, clustered, apical, and the leaves are oval to ovate or lanceolate. |
