Dendrobium parishii var. petaloid

This variety produces a third petal in place of a lip, making for a beautiful symmetrical flower. The color pops with pink contrasted by a small circle of white around the column. The flowers also emit a sweet, floral fragrance! This species is naturally deciduous, meaning the leaves will drop off of the oldest canes. By the spring to summer season, flower spikes will emerge from these bare canes, as a new bright-green growth emerges from the base of the plant. Water regularly during the growing season, then water only as the moss becomes lightly dry during the winter rest.
