Dendrobium lasianthera ('Frank Smith' FCC/AOS x self)
Dendrobium lasianthera is a fantastic species from New Guinea that can put up cones of beautifully vibrant flowers with over thirty flowers per inflorescence! Surprisingly enough, this species has a delicate fragrance that gets stronger in high light and high temperatures. Dendrobium lasianthera flowers can last up to three months, and they can flower from Spring through Fall! Our plants at the nursery are in bloom for 3/4 of the year. Dendrobium lasianthera has a large variety of color forms that vary depending on where in Borneo they come from. Plants are well established in 3" pots.
This is a selfing of Dendrobium lasianthera 'Frank Smith' FCC/AOS and should give very similar colors as pictured here. The bright yellows, reds, and magentas of this plant's flower have always been one of the most beautiful color combinations at the nursery! Can't wait to see these bloom!
