Dendrobium draconis in bloom.

WTG Sriram! Got one of these in my last quest for a major fix.
Very pretty!
One of the best dendrobium I like the lip so nice.
Dendrobium draconis was one of the first orchids I had 42 years ago, and the first I killed. Lovely representative of a lovely species, but it always makes me a little sad.

WOW, love that white and orange, a beauty!
Very nice indeed.
Quite a good colour in tge throat, here. This species is often a disappointment, since draconis = dragon, and dragons breathe fire. But even in the wild, the several examples of this I saw in flower , when I was in Thailand in March, had rather wishy-washy yellowish- orange throats. A cool fire ! Of course the person to blame for all this is the botanist who named the species. Went a bit OTT I think.
I tell myself "get over it man"..... But that's hard to do, since thisis not a free floweing dendrobium, and has few other obvious charms. What a grouch I am today, must have got out of bed thw wrong side.
Very nice colour in the throat, good clone.
