Being first month of spring, my native dendrobiums orchids currently in bloom. They are some of the easiest orchids to grow and every year reward me with many scented and sculptured flowers. All of my natives grow outside under the shade of the trees and exposed to all elements, they don't get any special treatments - just an occasional watering during hot summer months, other than that they are very tough and enjoy all kind of weather. In nature they grow attached to the trees or on the rocks and used to surviving harsh weather making them ideal orchids to grow for the beginner.
They are rather un-complicated , have the beauty all of their own and every year, in early spring put up a show and a display heralding the new growing season.
Very beautiful Dendrobiuns, one of my favorite genus. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe. These are beautiful and so beautiful grown and flowered. Thanks for posting your pictures of them - it would be nice to see some of your natives in person.
ReplyDeleteAutumn here and raining so so glad to see your beauties blooming.
ReplyDeleteThey do have their own beautiful spirit. So many blooms...you must give them all that they need and more.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Thanks for sharing the beauties. I really admiring to have the Australian dendrobium in my collection, and today I just got Dendrobium speciosum from my friend in Adelaide. Wish to go to Australia and get more from there ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, beautiful. I am so pleased that I have been able to keep a couple of orchids alive and re-blooming and here I see yours and mine pale in comparison (worse I don't even know their names). Ah what a site, orchids growing on trees!
ReplyDeleteYes they are the easiest to have. However i wonder why i am not really very fond of them as i favor Vanda.
