Dendrobium farmeri
Dendrobium farmeri is a section Densiflora epiphyte from the eastern Himalaya and mainland Southeast Asia, carrying pendulous, densely packed racemes of pale pink to white flowers with a yellow lip in spring. It grows on trees in evergreen, dry evergreen and bamboo forest in a strongly monsoonal climate, so it wants warm, wet, bright summers and a cooler, drier winter rest to flower well.
Where it grows wild
Herbarium labels describe it growing on trees in evergreen and dry evergreen forest, often near streams, in bamboo forest and at forest edges, and occasionally on trees in scrub. These are seasonal forests: the canopy is fairly open and the air is saturated in the monsoon but dry in the cool season.
Wild records range from near sea level in south-east Thailand to about 1,600 m, with most between roughly 300 and 1,000 m.
