Orchid 'Dendrochilum wenzelii'

This red-flowering, fragrant Dendrocilum species is from the Philippines where it grows in forests on lower elevations in warm to intermediate conditions. It is an easy grower that requires plenty of water during the growing season. It flowers in winter or springtime. The semi pendulous inflorescence of 1 foot or 30 cm carries many small red flowers. Especially mature plants with lots of inflorescences in full bloom provide a magnificent sight.
