These little gems were planted on rocks all around a pool of water, enhanced digitally in this photo, at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, Florida, USA. They are white and maroon miniature dendrobium kingianum orchids beginning to open up.
Dendrobium kingianum occurs naturally in an area along the east coast of Australia between Rockhampton in Queensland and the Hunter River in New SouthWales at elevations of 50 to 1200 meters. This species grows naturally on rocky surfaces and occasionally grows epiphytically on tree logs and branches.
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens
We visited the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens orchid show and were able to take pictures of these beautiful orchids. The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is a 15-acre (6.1 ha) botanical garden located at 900 South Palm Avenue in Sarasota, Florida. The Gardens are located on the grounds of the former home of Marie and William Selby.
