For some years now
Dendrobium hybrids that come from hybridizing plants with ancestry from the
Latourea, Phalaenanthe and Sphatulata
sections of the Dendrobium genus have
been showing up in the market. These Dendrobium have many virtues, among
those, the flowers are big and impressively long lasting. However some flowers can show lurid color
combinations that are unfamiliar to the average orchid grower and some retain a
trace of the strongly twisted flowers of the Latouria ancestors. It
remains to be seen if they will become as popular as the ubiquitous hybrid Dendrobium derived from the Phalaenanthe and Sphatulata section of Dendrobium.

Hi Richard. I am just starting to collect these type of Nopporn Dendrobiums. I love their splash of mixed colors, however they are difficult to locate.
