Dendrobium aggregatum
Den. aggregatum 'Majus'
Species Dendrobium
Mature plants, grow short. Can fit in small places. The bloom spike flows down and then it is best to hang the plant or have it up so the blooms can come down over the edge. The picture of the flower is our plant that is many years old. Blooms around March. The second picture shows the really interesting and pretty plant structure. Larger plants in 6" pots. This is a neat plant, very much worth growing and getting those wonderful blooms and enjoying the really special plant growth.
