Description

Another orchid from our daughter-in-laws collection. Dendrobium is a huge genus of orchids and today contains about 1,200 species. The genus occurs in diverse habitats throughout much Southeast Asia, Philippines, Borneo, Australia, New Guinea, Solomon Islands and New Zealand. The name is from the Greek dendron ("tree") and bios ("life"); it means "one who lives on trees". The blooms are about 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide, the colors are very pale and there are dozens of blooms on each plant. Still having trouble, keeping up with comments thus only posting every other day. Zoom works! Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana
