Dendrobium canaliculiatums - super dark purple lip!!

Got this from Murray the last last time he came down for the Johor show, when the rules for cross border transport of orchids were still not in place.

The plant initally rotted and died down to the backbulbs but it eventually survived.


It bloomed recently along with the Dendrobium canaliculatum that a friend got back from QLD for me.

These were night shots, so the colour isn't so shiok




Here's a day shot:



Here's the plant from QLD









Here's the contrast (Murray's plant on the right - see the lip colour of the beauty):
