RHH's photos with the keyword: christyanum

I've decided to post some pictures of my orchids, especially of those that have recently been blooming, and this is one of them, Dendrobium christyanum from China, Thailand and Vietnam. It belongs to a group of Dendrobium that have plants and leaves covered with short black hairs. The plant is a few inches tall and the flowers an inch. The photo below is of the same species but a different plant. There is another photo and a more detailed description at the link below.

This is one of the nigrohirsute Dendrobiums. It has black hairs on the sheaths of the canes which can be seen in the photo. The flowers resemble Dendrobium margaritaceum, but the canes are much longer, 9-12 inches. It is native to Vietnam, China and Thailand.

This miniature orchid species, also known as Dendrobium christyanum, is from Vietnam, China and Thailand and is fragrant.
