Noble Rock Orchid, Noble Dendrobium
Dendrobium nobile (Noble Rock Orchid) is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid boasting short racemes of 2-4 sweet-scented, rose-pink flowers, up to 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with a dark purple lip. Blooming from winter into spring, the showy and delicate flowers arise from the leafless nodes, and they last 3-6 weeks. The strap-shaped oval leaves, 2-3 in. long (5-8 cm), are often evergreen in cultivation. Native to China, the Himalayas, and Indochina, Dendrobium nobile can be found growing in lowland and mountain forests, often on mossy limestone rocks. Dendrobium nobile is quite popular as a decorative houseplant because it blooms in winter and spring when little else is in flower. If grown properly, this orchid can produce 50 to 100 flowers per cane.
