Dendrobium - rock orchids

These are a reliable spring bloomer that we look forward to every year! Dendrobium kingianum, also known as the rock orchid, is a flowering plant that is endemic to eastern Australia. It usually grows on rocks, occasionally as an epiphyte, and has thin, spreading leaves and spikes of up to fifteen 2-3cm fragrant flowers occurring in late winter to spring.
