Dendrobium secundum
http://forum.aosforum.org/picture.ph...7&pictureid=75
This plant's flowers are a deep fuchsia that is difficult to capture on a photo, it is my oldest plant and has produced three and a half feet long canes, the longer of all my plants (in the wild they can reach six feet). My plants bloom both from fully leafed and from leafless canes. http://forum.aosforum.org/picture.ph...7&pictureid=76 This is the most common flower color, a pink color that can vary from plant to plant. http://forum.aosforum.org/picture.ph...7&pictureid=77 A white flowered clone, not actually a plant of mine but it is so nice it has made me want to add one of this to my collection. I am not sure if the slight pink blush that can be seen in the photo was actually present on the flowers or if it is an artifact produced by the camera. |
Ricardo, your secundum appears to be much more deeply colored than mine...lovely species! I have been fortunate that non of my canes hare longer than a foot on mine.There is another one in the greenhouse that has 3' long canes.

Ricardo,
Do you grow in a greenhouse or your home? Awesome blooms. |
I live in the tropics so I grow the orchids outside on a shade house. The best performing of my Den. secundum plants gets full sun from day break to 11:00 am. Plants in shadier conditions produce less flowers.

Very exotic flowers. Any fragrance, Ricardo?
|
No fragrance that I can detect, however my sense of sell is not the best in the world.
