Dendrobium pierardii (aphyllum, cucullatum) – one adorable little orchid!
12.6K
This is Dendrobium pierardii (or aphyllum or cucullatum) and it is a deciduous Dendrobium species. This means it will lose its leaves when blooming. It can grow quite long and will droop down, creating a wonderful, delicate cascade of flowers. Suppose to be lightly fragrant, so far nothing on mine but I will give it more time. Colors can vary in intensity somewhat, it depends on care as well. The flowers are not large, but compared to the thin cane they can appear larger than they really are. A fabulous little guy!
