Dendrobium longicornu in bloom

[margo]

Very nice! Is it fragrant? How big is the flower?

[Brutal_Dreamer]

Nice bloom! It looks really interesting! Are there lots of blooms along the cane with this one?

Cheers,

The "profile" picture of the bloom is nice and unusual.
Very pretty. You have such an interesting collection!

Hi Bruce ,
the bloom is near the apex ,not on this stem what is on the picture. And there is only one flower in time , but it can be 1-3 blooms per inflorescence.
They do not fully open .

Hello margo ,
yes it´s fragrant , a little bit . And the flower is ca.4 cm .

Thank you all for looking and comments .

That is beautiful Andrea, I love the profile shot, now we see where its got its name the flower is long and elegant if I remember rightly Cornu means something similar to horn ( correct me please) and that is shown by the trumpet shape of the flowers. ( my latin/greek leaves a lot to be desired LOL)

hi andrea,
nice shots and a cool bloom!
i like those tiny green edges.

That's very special Andrea. I had to scroll up for the green Ron mentioned I was just swept away by the unusual shape.

Hi Carrie ,

I think your interpretation of the name is correctly. It looks like a horn .


Thank you all for your interest .
