Dendrobium nudum
petal nudumDendrobium nudum – some now move this to Anisopetala when presumably it becomes A.nuda.
Rather few flowered – always, as far as I can see. My plant manages 2 or 3 flowers per spray, from one or two nodes on each of four leafless canes , but they do go on flowering for several years – at least five in the case of one of my canes. I also have about three canes on their way to being leafless, i.e. down to just one or two leaves, which may join in, next time around, and three or four new growths coming up towards full length ( 2 feet). The canes are thin, maybe only 4 or 5 mm, say 1/8th inch.
I have not been able to find any illustration or reference suggesting better , in fact I can see more flowers on my plant than on any of the pics I have found, but of course growers often show just a single flower so as to be better seen; so I don’t know.
I have discovered that it likes shade, and I have been growing it brighter, so I’ll change my culture now.
Flowers btw an inch to 1 ½ inch in size, and clearly very variable in colour, from dark yellow through white to pale green, almost always with the pink veining seen here.
