This is another cool-temperature Dendrobium from the highlands of New Guinea. The flowers bloom down among the pencil-like leaves and this plant had over a hundred flowers the last time it bloomed (actually it is still blooming since the flowers last four to six months). The colors are typical of the Dendrobiums in the Oxyglossum section, bold and in striking combinations.

Dendrobium hellwigianum is another high altitude, cool growing species Oxyglossum Dendrobium from Papua New Guinea. It is a small plant, four inches tall, with one inch flowers. It blooms profusely and my plant has 50 or 60 flowers at present. More pictures here: orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/08/dendrobium-hellwi...
