Dendrobium cuthbertsonii

[duane mcdowell]

This has got to be one of my favorite orchid species. Big flowers on tiny plants, great color varieties, and flowers that last up to six months each.
These were grown by Ecuagenera at their main (cooler-growing) nursery in Gualaceo, Ecuador (near Cuenca).

All 3 are super!!

Thanks for looking! When I see the pictures, I think that I should get a few more color varieties, but I'm going to wait and see how the two seedlings I have grow!

Wow! I've never seen the light ones before. Thanx for posting.

Those are all great! I am very skilled at killing these...

this species has got to be about as awesome as they come, makes me want to move to a cool cloudy mountain top in the tropics

I love these. You seem to be growing them very well. Any cultural tips for us who they don't seem to like?

You're not alone, as you can tell by reading the posts! This summer my masdies took a big hit, I'm not even going to attempt these guys, I'll enjoy looking at pics posted here!

very nice, another 'tombstone' species... used to see them a lot for sale in the '80's and early 90's but don't remember seeing them for sale recently or in local orchid shows

Golden Gate Orchids has several color lines for sale. $25 each blooming size.
