  • Regular price $750.00


Blooming size Dimorphorchis lowii – A very rare species native to Borneo. This vanda relative is quite unusual because it has two distinctly different flowers on the same inflorescence. The first two flowers are bright yellow with small red spots, fragrant and hairy, while the rest of the flowers have large dark red blotches on a creamy yellow background. The plant will have many 3" flowers, widely spaced on a pendant, flexible spike up to 12 feet long! Best grown hanging, like a vanda, to allow the inflorescence to hang down. A stunning and special orchid for your collection.
