Dendrobium kingianum 'Elk #1

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.
