365 days of orchids – day 490 – Dendrobium chrysocrepsis
This is a new Dendrobium for 365 days and is a species native to South East Asia with an unusual slipper shaped lip. The species grows at 1400m and usually as a lithophyte on limestone rocks. It produces flowers in ones and twos from older pseudobulbs.
The plant has a spreading habit with regular keikis and we hope it will present a good display when more mature. The bulbs are attractive as they are very flat in cross section.
What does “With regular keikis” mean please.
Keikis are little plants that grow from the bulbs or flower stems of mother plants (Keiki is Hawaiian for baby)
Thank you
