Dendrobium signatum

This is a seasonal flower from Thailand.  The leaves will drop from the long cane which remains quite leafless until some environmental trigger causes it to produce flower buds at the swollen nodes.  The flowers are beautiful so it is worth the long wait.  It flowers about twice a year.

  2. Hi Parry,

    I think April is the blooming season for a lot of orchids. Paph philippinense is also blooming.
