NOID Dendrobium PNG

[lanhua]

this beauty Dendr. is native to PNG. Do, somebody knows the name?

[Desdinova]

Your beautiful 'chid is Dendrobium biloculare of Section Latourea. A pretty thing, is it not?

Reminds me of some encyclia species - cochleata, radiata, etc. Interesting - lovely, though.

Julie, thanks a lot for your help. Yes it's a small plant, but the flowers are quite pretty.
Maura, you are right. My plant looks like an Encyclia. It shows, that it's the same family and the plants, or flowers are sometimes very similar, even one plant grows in PNG, the another one in South America. It'S always for me fascinating to see two different Genera, but similar habitus or flowers.

The blooms do remind me of an encyclia flower. Great dendrobium though.

cheers,
