Dendrobium lasianthera is a fantastic species from New Guinea that can put up cones of beautifully vibrant flowers with over thirty flowers per inflorescence! Surprisingly enough, this species has a delicate fragrance that gets stronger in high light and high temperatures. Dendrobium lasianthera flowers can last up to three months, and they can flower from Spring through Fall! Our plants at the nursery are in bloom for 3/4 of the year. Dendrobium lasianthera has a large variety of color forms that vary depending on where in Borneo they come from. Plants are well established in 3" pots.

This is a cross between Dendrobium lasianthera 'Frank Smith' FCC/AOS and Dendrobium lasianthera 'Crystelle' AM/AOS. We hope to see more intense purples, or stronger sunset colors in these lasianthera seedlings. These two parents have some of the highest flower count of all, and some of the largest petals which should make for overall great show plants!

The reciprocal cross is available here.
