Dendrobium agathodaemonis

Dendrobium agathodaemonis is a tiny orchid species from the mountains of Papua New Guinea. The growths, visible in this shot, are less than two centimeters tall but the flowers, which last six months or longer, are much larger. It is closely related to Dendrobium cuthbertsonii but lacks the darker markings of the lip of that species. It requires very good light and cool temperatures.
