Dendrobium Teresa Doran 'Kings Park' × speciosum 'Moonmere' AM/AOC is an Australian native Dendrobium seedling cross (cross number 5337). Teresa Doran 'Kings Park' is a compact kingianum-alliance hybrid with strong pink colouring; D. speciosum 'Moonmere' AM/AOC is an awarded cultivar of the rock orchid, contributing robust plant stature, fragrant cream flowers, and prolific spring flowering. The photographs show the parent plants. Individual seedlings will vary in flower colour and form.

What to expect

• Flowering: Spring. Long spikes carrying multiple flowers, reflecting the speciosum parentage.
• Flowers: Expected cream to soft pink, with lip patterning drawing on the Teresa Doran parent. Fragrance likely. Individual plants will vary.
• Plant: Larger and more robust than a standard kingianum hybrid, reflecting the speciosum influence. Forms clumping growth over time.

Growing notes

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Hardy and cold-tolerant when established. A cool winter dry rest supports spring flowering.
• Light: Full sun to bright filtered light. The speciosum parentage increases light and heat tolerance.
• Water: Regular through the growing season; restrict through winter rest.
• Feeding: Balanced fertiliser through spring and summer, reduced from late autumn.
