Dendrobium Garden

The species name means “special, unique”, referring to its labellum, which is reversed to resemble a rhinoceros horn and covered with a deep orange-red reticulation, very unique. Although it does not have a full and rounded flower shape, the orange-red color of the petals and the ribbed reticulation on the labellum have made it rise to the top and become popular. It is distributed in Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand (800-1550m above sea level) and grows on rocks and small shrubs in lowland forests. It flowers from spring to early summer and the flowers are long-lived, up to 1 month or more.
