    Default Dendrobium leonis

    I like this Section of Dends...very cool leaves. This one is flowering for the first time with 3/4 inch flowers that are fragrant...smells like vanilla.

    The flower is cute and the leaves alone make it a really interesting looking plant!

    Interesting bloom, Ron. I had a dendrobium that was similar in shape to this one that had an orange bloom. Can't remember the name of it now. I gave it away to a friend who admired it.

    Cheers,
    BD

    Very cool leaf structure--and a plant that smells like vanilla--can't go wrong there! Does this one need a cool dry winter like most Dends?
