    Talking Dendrobium formosum mutant ?

    When I bought it two years ago it was a lot of Dendrobium formosum, but I found it strange and Dendrobium formosum located both in the crowd, I thought maybe it was a mutant?

    Looks beautiful to me. Love the pure white orchid bloom with the yellow stripes in the center like a little runway for the pollinator.

    Cheers,

    That's a very attractive formosum, one of the parents of Dawn Maree.

    Couldn't it be Dendrobium Roongkamol (Den Dawn Maree x Den formosum)?

    Yeah, no question that is nice! I got a Dendrobium Roongkamol myself. Very likely is a Formosae / Nigro-hirsute Dendrobium.
