Dendrobium junceum Lindl., Edwards's Bot. Reg. 28(Misc.): 9 (1842).
Distribution: Borneo, Philippines
Featured orchid photo for August 2010
Dendrobium junceum is a very showy species from the Philippines with fine, almost grass like foliage. The flowers seem to be produced at odd times, perhaps after a temperature drop. A well drained small pot or treefern or cork bark slab with extra water works well.
Intermediate to warm grower, it will produce an attractive, very different Dendrobium specimen.

Love at first sight
I am a fan of this one. This was love at first sight.
How big are this flowers?
not very large
they are not very large Horst (around 25-30mm) top to bottom but the overall effect is lovely and the detail in the lip is quite remarkable.
Regards wellsy
I agree
with your sentiments wellsy, the details of the flowers are distinct. I love the colour match with the background.
