Dendrobium Dawn Maree

[catttan]

Hi Yew Sung,

I'm interested to Den. Dawn Maree hybrid and hope you will be able to share more of such plant.

Actually I'm still looking for more Dawn Maree type dendrobiums. Yesterday I visited a friend's nursery and came home with two of these types. They are Den Green Lantern (Dawn Maree x cruentum) and Den Dawn Maree x formosum. The two I chose from those blooming, had exceptionally dark lips - darker than the Dawn Maree in my pictures here.The Dawn Maree x formosum has very big flowers like formosum.

Den Dawn Maree has rekindled my interest in dendrobiums which I had neglected for quite a while. The new craze among Malaysians in dendrobes is horn-type or antelope types dendrobe, with their incredible twisty petals and this line of breeding has been enhanced with the introduction of the New Guinea Den lasianthera into the breeding. The only minus is the size of these dendrobe which do tend to grow very tall.

Well said Yew, the lasianthera craze is really widespread.

That is beautiful!

That orange on the lip is very attractive. And the form of the flower is very good, quite full.
