From New Guinea.

Another miniature Dendrobium from New Guinea.

Native to Papua New Guinea.

This is a species from Papua New Guinea.

Dendrobium lawesii is from New Guinea.

This tiny orchid comes in many color forms and has flower that are huge for the size of the plant and which are also very long lasting, making it one of the most desirable of miniature orchids. The plants are an inch or less tall with remarkably pebbled foliage, and the flowers are around an inch in size (3 cm), and last six months or more. The plant is native to New Guinea and is cool growing with a reputation for being a bit difficult to grow, but can be grown to a large specimen with good culture. Some blog posts for this species follow, the first showing a bicolor form, the second different color forms and third the semi-alba form also shown below. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/07/dendrobium-cuthbe... orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/03/dendrobium-cuthbe... orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2010/12/dendrobium-cuthbe...

This orchid species is from Papua New Guinea and belongs to the Oxyglossum group of Dendrobiums. The species varies greatly in size, with this plant 8-10 inches tall and another plant we own only about 2 inches tall. These flower opened a bright pink and gradually faded to the more muted shades shown here. They have ample time to do that since the flowers last for many months. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/09/dendrobium-violac...

This plant is often considered to be a variety of Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, which it does resemble in some respects. It is different, however, in the fact that the growths are generally smaller and thinner than those of cuthbertsonii, and the flowers lack the dark coloring on the midlobe of the lip - they are nearly pure white in this case. My plant is 4 cm tall with flowers that are very close to that size and which dwarf the plant. The plant is a prolific bloomer with long-lasting flowers and is in bloom nearly year around. It is native to Papua New Guinea. Published in the December, 2011, issue of Orkideer, the magazine of the Swedish Orchid Society in an article on orchid photography. The editor of the magazine, Karma Forester has a site on Flickr, www.flickr.com/photos/myorchids/ and a blog, www.orchidkarma.com . orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/11/dendrobium-agatho...

This tiny Dendrobium is native to the highlands of Papua New Guinea. The plant, half an inch tall, is dwarfed by the one and a quarter inch flowers. It comes in a variety of bright colors and requires cool temperatures. It is considered by some to be synonymous with Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, but lacks the dark markings on the lip and the plant lacks the swollen pseudobulbs of that species. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/10/dendrobium-agatho...

Dendrobium hellwigianum is another high altitude, cool growing species Oxyglossum Dendrobium from Papua New Guinea. It is a small plant, four inches tall, with one inch flowers. It blooms profusely and my plant has 50 or 60 flowers at present. More pictures here: orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/08/dendrobium-hellwi...

This tiny orchid species produces huge flowers that last for six months and that bloom in a rainbow of colors. It is from Papua New Guinea and requires cool temperatures, high light and good humidity. This plant is referred to as "semi-alba" for its very pale color and for the fact that it retains the markings on the lip. The similarity between these flowers and the flowers in the next post is obvious and this is one of the parents of that hybrid, though a red-flowered plant was used instead of this pale variety.

This is another high-altitude species from Papua New Guinea that produces clusters of these unusually colored flowers in early winter. It belongs to the Oxyglossum section of Dendrobium and requires cool temperatures, high light and good humidity. The flowers are an inch in size and the plant 4-6 inches. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/08/dendrobium-sulphu...

My favorite orchid. Tiny plant, huge flowers, rainbow colors, long-lasting (flowers that last 6 months or more). What more could anyone ask? More information and photos here: orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/11/dendrobium-cuthbe...

This very unusual orchid species is from Papua New Guinea. It belong to a small genus of about twenty species, mostly from the cloud forests and most with brightly colored flowers. The individual growths, one of which is shown here, are 2-3 inches but grow on top of each other in a rambling fashion. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/01/mediocalcar-verst...

This is the plant whose flowers are shown below. As I noted in that post, the plant tends to ramble all over and is impossible to confine to a pot. It is from New Guinea and prefers cool temperatures and good humidity. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/01/mediocalcar-verst...

Dendrobium subuliferum is another miniature species from Papua New Guinea belonging to the Oxyglossum section of the genus Dendrobium, a section that includes many cool-growing, cloud-forest miniature with brightly colored flowers that last for many months. My plant is a first bloom seedling. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/11/dendrobium-subuli...

Dendrobium sulphureuym is another species from New Guinea belonging to the Oxyglossum section of the genus, which usually means colorful and long-lived flowers. This certainly fits the bill. It is about six inches tall and at the tip of each growth produces two or three flowers that last for many months. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/08/dendrobium-sulphu...

Here's the plant with its flowers whose single flower is shown below. This mat-like species is from the high altitude cloud forests of New Guinea. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/02/mediocalcar-decor...
