Dendrobium Little Atro 'Dark' x sib 4in

Latouria-type Dendrobiums are vigorous growers and easy bloomers provided they are given enough light. As a general rule, dendrobiums generally enjoy warmer, wetter Spring-Fall and cooler, drier Winters. This is a compact-sized primary hybrid that is atroviolaceum x normanbyense. This is the darker purple cultivar. It produces clusters of cream flowers with charming purple spots and a bright purple lip. These flowers are plentiful and make an impressive display on a relatively small plant. Blooms are about an inch in diameter.

Fragrant and smells of sweet cinnamon. Will not arrive in bloom unless stated. Blooming size, blooms pictured are of Little Atro.
