Pairs well with
This is a seedling of Dendrobium (Syn. Dockrillia) Tweetie 'GD' x Memoria Jean Deas 'Dark', a terete (pencil-type) cross between two well-regarded Dockrillia hybrids. It suits growers who enjoy this group and want to see what a seedling cross produces, with the 'Dark' parent known for deeply coloured flowers.
About this plant
Tweetie 'GD' is a compact, terete-leafed hybrid with good flower presentation, and it has a good reputation in Australian Dockrillia collections. Memoria Jean Deas 'Dark' is a hybrid of Den. fuliginosum x Den. calamiforme, known among collectors for rich, deeply coloured, spotted flowers. The 'Dark' clone name points to the colour intensity this parent brings.
From this cross we would expect strong terete growth, good colour depth and the refined character collectors of this group look for. As with any seedling cross, individual plants will vary. The spikes are cascading. Many Australian growers list this group as Dockrillia.
