Dendrobium truncatum







This is a Dendrobium species that i have been growing for about 10 years. It is very free flowering and has an interesting "onion shaped" pseudobulb about 1.5 cm long and 1 cm wide. It is a miniature Dendrobium very suitable for HDB balconies or mounting on tree trunks. The flowers are small (1 cm) and short lived (abt 2 -3 days) but has beautiful purple markings on a white background. Truly lovely flowers that blooms frequently making up for its short lifespan. Sometimes beautiful things are not meant to last.
