A beautiful purple colored Dendrobium Orchid, in square format, seen at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. The section dendrobium contains orchids that have an erect or drooping growth habit. These varieties of dendrobiums have leaves all along the canes that drop during cool, dry weather and one to five flowers form on the leafless canes in mid-winter through spring. Dendrobium varieties grow during the summer, and need warmth and heavy fertilization when the roots appear.

Dendrobium friedricksianum and Dendrobium anosmum belong to the dendrobium section.
