    Default Dendrobium anosmum - colchicine treated

    these are both first time bloomers. The one with the larger flower is from a batch of seedlings that are treated with colchicine. It really looks like it converted to 4n.

    Thank you. I'm very excited with this little anosmum. Yes, the size is a huge improvement, plus the petals have a firmer texture. I just hope that it could be as floriferous as it's sibling when it matures.
