Dendrobium speciosum: Orchid

Dendrobium speciosum from the Orchid family
There are two to five thick, leathery leaves originating from the top of each pseudobulb. These leaves can remain on the plant for up to 12 years. The erect or curved pseudobulbs are rather large, up to 45 cm long. They are thickest at their base 5 - 7 cm, and often taper towards the apex 3 cm. The showy flowers grow in long racemes on straight or slowly arching, long, starchy stems with over 100 small sweetly fragrant flowers per stem from August to October. Their colour varies from white to creamy yellow.
