Dendrobium hybrid


Bromheadia finlaysoniana

People forget about this plant and as such it is not easy to recall its name. This orchid is native to Sarawak.  The beautiful, white fragrant flowers are held singly or in pairs on tall stalks ( one meter long) . After a rainy spell, full flowering of the entire clump occurs.
