Dendrobium loddigesii, Live Species Orchid, Mounted, Blooming size

This small to medium sized species orchid is adored not only by orchid collectors but by anyone who grows houseplants. It is extremely easy to care for but will reward the grower with a magnificent flower display in the spring. The flowers are are only a few inches each but they bloom en mass making the leaves almost invisible. They are lavender to pink with a filimented, ruffled orange lip. They like to be kept well watered during the growing season but in order to get them to bloom in the spring, it is best to let them have a dryer spell during the winter.
They are currently mounted on a handmade mesh basket that is approximately 8" x 5" x 3" with a wire hanger. There are numerous canes, so much so that the basket can barely be seen.
