Dendrobium kingianum, large form

Although very different in form to the little pink rock orchid, posted a few weeks ago, this seems to be just a different cultivar of Dendrobium kingianum. It has striking tall stems and is beautiful just as a foliage plant. The flowers are only a little bigger than the pink form, and they come a little later. It sends up a new set of stems after flowering. Very easy going. This year it will fill the pot, so I’ll see how it responds to crowding.
