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 of Dendrobium lasianthera 'Mem. Kevin Zatkovich' and Dendrobium lasianthera 'Krull-Smith' FCC/AOS. We hope to see lasianthera seedlings with large, flat, fuchsia lips along with larger flowers from the Krull-Smith parent, and stronger and darker color saturation from the 'Mem, Kevin Zatkovich' parent. Den. lasianthera 'Krull-Smith' FCC/AOS won the Benjamin Kodama award for the best Dendrobium awarded in the world by the AOS that year.
