Dendrobium kingianum Very Dark
8th September 2018
A form that I bought at Malvern Orchid Show. One of the key objectives of breeding in the species has been
dark flowers so this seemed too good to miss. Hasn't flowered here yet.

In the event, Very Dark is a good description. I got it from Assendorfer Orchideenzucht at the 2018 Malvern Orchid Show.
Assendorfer had bought a collection of Dendrobium from a private grower specialising in the Australian hybrids originating with the Australian Orchid Nursery
and I assume that this is one of their D. kingianum seedlings.
