2013 Australian Dendrobium List

Australian Dendrobiums are bred with species that originate only in Australia.  The Aussies have done amazing work in the breeding of these and they have become very popular in Australia. 

Here in the USA we rarely see the advanced hybrids for sale.  We do see Den. kingianum and anyone who grows it knows how hardy they are.  The Aussie Dendrobiums are all very hardy.  They do well with hot summers (75-95 deg. days) and cool winters (40-55 deg. nights).  I have been trialing them all over the USA and have had customers report good successes in Florida, Virginia, New York, Michigan, Oklahoma, and California.  The flowers are fragrant and will fill the growing area with a wonderful aroma.  Most importantly they re-flower from the old pseudobulbs.  I have seen plants produce 12 inflorescences from a single bulb over a 5 year period that is a nice feature!  Due to this re-flowering characteristic these plants form beautiful specimens in a relatively short period of time.

Here is the first significant offering in the USA of what our friends in Australia have worked so diligently on.   Give them a try.
