The cool
moist air of Hawaiian winters reach Dendrobium Kamiya's Surprise
x atroviolaceum. Blossoming commences and continues for months
to come. The blooming season extends for several months and
beyond until the heat of June bears down.
The large
clusters of glove leathery ivory petals are speckled in deep
red maroon and the lip is heavily veined in deeper shades
of the same. Mainly of the Latouria section of dendrobium,
this hybrid seems of royal blood. Although a minimal amount
of seedling grew out of this seed pod, they have all proven
to be remarkable in the least. Very slow to grow, but over
time they have grown with wonderful dilligence to present
themselves heavily clustered with ornate blossoms with lasting
beauty year after year.
The second
group of orchid progeny we have placed into our private reserve,
many are also wonderful breeders and have produced full seed
pods potent with potential.
