Dendrobium wassellii

Dendrobium wassellii

This is a very unusual Dendrobium. The plant looks like a Brassavola nodosa and the flowers are these that open seemingly "upside down". We are growing it mounted on a coconut fiber plaque. Originally we it was potted and it did not seem to do as well. This flower is about 3/4 to 1 inch. It is small enough that our digital camera had a hard time focusing on it. This is about the 20th photo we took to get a sharp one.
