Dendrobium Roy Tokunaga

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 famous Dendrobium has striking white blooms with a characteristic purple lip. Although the plant reaches a tall mature size of around 24in, its a show stopper and a popular choice. Flowers are bright white with a variable amount of purple and maintain a sweet cinnamon scent as blooms mature. Does not require a winter rest period.
