Dendrobium limpidum

Another orchid species from New Guinea, this plant has short canes with beautiful parallel and alternating foliage. The flowers do not open very far and look a bit like a hungry mouth. It is considered by some to be the same species as Dend. dichaeoides, but I am not expert enough to judge that. Close-up pictures of the flowers and of the whole plant can be found here: orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/03/dendrobium-limpid....
