Dendrobium farmeri is a spectacular orchid species known for its pendulous clusters of showy flowers that can nearly cover the plant when in full bloom. Native to Southeast Asia, this species produces stout pseudobulbs topped with attractive leathery leaves. In spring, mature plants reward growers with large cascading flower clusters featuring soft pink, lavender, and white blooms with bright yellow centers.
