Please help identify this orchid

8 years ago

I just purchased this orchid because of its petite size and shape of the flower and its fragrance. Unfortunately, it didn't have an identification tag with it. Please help me in identifying it. I think it's a dendrobium, but does anyone know what type. Thank you.

An Australian Dendrobium. It has antennatum in it. These are very free flowering. Protect it Below 50 degrees. A big plant well cared for will be in bloom more than not.

It might be a variety of Dendrobium canaliculatum or a hybrid with something else, hard to say. Closely related to Dendrobium antennatum which comes from Papua/New Guinea.

Dendrobium canaliculatum comes from a warm all year climate (Tropical North Australia) with maximum rainfall in summer.
