Dendrobium ‘Purple Ace’


Dendrobium ‘Purple Ace’
When I moved back to Virginia 3 years ago, I was just getting interested in developing an orchid collection. I found a local vendor and signed up for an ‘Orchid of the Month” program and this is one of the plants from that adventure. At that time I was just collecting a little bit of everything with little understanding of the plants needs. Over time my collections has shifted more to Cattleya species, but I find these Dens play nice with the others. My only complaint is the space they need as they grow taller. For that reason several have been traded away, but my wife loves the color on this plant, so it stays.
