Dendrobium wangliangii spontaneous capsule#4097 (approximately 25 seedlings per flask).

The Species: This recently described (2008) species is from Yunnan Province, China. It is a short lived flower but makes up for that in size as it is larger than the plant. It grows at elevations from to 5600 to 6250 ft on oak trees in mixed deciduous and evergreen forests. I don't have images of the parents of this but am showing a representative flower. The flowers are about 1.6" wide and are as large as the plant.

Culture: The mature plants may best grown mounted so the roots can dry quickly. It receives ample water and fertilizer during the growing season (May to October) and then needs a cool to cold, dry rest in the winter. For taking these seedlings out of flask, I highly recommend that they be put in a compot for the first year. My success rate taking them out is excellent in compot and not very good with the ones I mounted directly out of flask.
