Dendrobium aggregatum

An old orchid friend

This Dendrobium lindleyi (formerly aggregatum) once hung in a west facing window in downtown Detroit, an east facing one in the Central West End of St. Louis and now lives outdoors in San Diego under a queen palm. This species blooms more prolifically with a winter rest from about Thanksgiving through spring which it doesn’t really get around here because of our winter rains. I do withhold fertilizer until I see new growth on it in the spring, though. It’s pleasantly fragrant.
