The species has a lot of varieties because its wide distribution in southeastern Asia.
This bloom I showed is a common one. The bloom is quite perfumed and this gives it the local name, the incensed dendrobium.

Great picture and a local favorite here in Hawaii! The 'honohonos' as we call them in Hawaii, are kind of like the tulips and crocus' in the eastern US.

Thanks for the kind words.

The species does well in both subtropical and tropical part of Taiwan. So it must grow well in Hawaii.
