Dieter Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Dear all, here are some pictures of this new species recently described by Allen Lowrie in his Magnum Opus. It is a orange flowered species, the closest relative is D. callistos. In my opinion it really is a beauty. Even better, it seems to be an easy grower, at least in my conditions. The plants are greenish or yellowish green. Here are a couple of shots taken at the end of some gemmae season. The red colour of the outer gemmae is indicating that they are about to die (or already doing so): The plants have a compact appearance the the inflorescence is shorter than for D. callistos. In addition, the sepal are quite hairy as you can see below. The flowers are simply gorgeous: I hope you like this one!
