I received 2 shipments in 2010, total of 8 plants, all salvias. I received large plants per capita and they were growing in an interesting well-drained mix. It contained what looked like tiny bits of clay pots in place of perlite. I highly recommend this nursery based on 2010 experience and future 2011 same.

Dendrobium kingianum 'Elk #1
(Pink Rock Orchid) Light pink flowers with a dark pink lip, often ten or more on an inflorescence. Better than ‘Ruth’ in my opinion. Cane size is mid-way between our 'Elk White' and 'Paul'. Foliage is very dark green and heavy.

I suspect this clone to be a chance tetraploid. It is the best of a large lot of seedlings raised from a flask secured in Australia many years ago. It grows slowly, but is very hardy and eventually makes very large plants. We have a 12" by 36" tree fern slab covered with this clone at one end of a greenhouse.

Needs to be kept moist, except during its winter dormancy. We grow in rock or mounted on tree fern.

These are large plants in 3 /12" clay pots. Please inquire for specimens.

We are pleased to suggest these other plants, which go well with Dendrobium kingianum 'Elk #1:



#376
Dendrobium kingianum var. Album 'Elk White' Dendrobium kingianum var. Album 'Elk White'

 (White Rock Orchid) This variety is the result of a selfing of the very fine ‘Bay Islands’ clone. It is a very small cane, generally less than 3 inches high and very fat. A miniature delight! Small, pure white heavy textured flowers are presented on short stems. The foliage is light green – this is a true album. It is my personal favorite for tree fern baskets or slabs.

Needs to be kept quite moist.  We grow in rock and in less light than most kingianum clones.
