Dendrobium Burana Emerald is a hybrid orchid in the Dendrobium genus. It was first created by breeder P. Buranaraktham in 2001 and is recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) as a registered orchid grex (cultivar). Its parents are Dendrobium Boon Burana and Dendrobium Burana Green, resulting in a plant known for bright, green-based flowers with contrasting lip color and vigorous growth habit.
🌸 Appearance & Flowers
