Dendrobium speciosum is the Botanical name for the Sydney Rock Orchid, and is also known as the King orchid. It is an Australian Native plant, and naturally grows over a very large area of the Continent, from cold areas with frosts in winter to warmer areas with temperatures reaching 45 degrees centigrade. In late Winter and Spring, it puts on a spectacular mass display of fragrant flowers, with the flower sprays up to 30 cm long. The plant has many sub-species, and can be quite variable in flower colour, ranging from white and creamy yellow to Golden.
The plants will grow into large clumps, and is found growing amongst or on top of rocks in the bushland, where it is shaded by a tree canopy, in a brightly lit spot and where the roots can stay cool and get some moisture during the rain. The Sydney Rock orchid is extremely tough and will survive in droughts and it is also virtually free of pests, as the leaves are tough and leathery and not edible. They can also be grown in pots, but they require a very well-drained course orchid compost and a position where they get bright light but not direct hot sun.
I photographed these Dendrobiums in Sydney gardens, where they are in full flower. 
Dendrobium speciosum, or rock lily, is a popular and easy to grow Australain native orchid. It bears showy racemes of cream flowers sometimes with purple spotted throats in spring. It naturally grows as a lithophyte, growing on rocks, or sometimes as an epiphyte, growing on the trunk or branches of trees. It is not well adapted to growing well in normal soil, so should be grown in a position that is similar to the natural conditions. It can be grown in a pot with a good orchid mix and can also be attached to logs.

Fav. comment Award ! Thanks for the great Pics.
Australia's favorite Dendrobium, 'Rock Lillies' they call them as they can grow on exposed hillsides in full sun. I have a number of them, will post them here as they open up. This one is a hybrid called 'Golden Arch'. (Lynette Banks x spec Yellow Moon), so I guess it's not really a Dend speciosum but a Dendrobium. I think of it as a Dend speciosum, correct me Arthur.
A Viet Namese grower from Orange County brought about 500 seedling into California some time ago and has them numbered 1 to 10. Don't exactly know how he gets that but whatever. #1, sold by him always looks the same, divisions I guess. The flowers are large but not placed too well, not compact and a little rambling all over the place.

Silly Sausage Award ! Excellent selection of Pics, thanks.
They can be grown on a rock by sitting them on some orchid compost and propping them up with smaller rocks: they will eventually attach themselves to the main rock. They can also be affixed to a tree using an old stocking partially filled with orchid compost in which to anchor the roots - tie the orchid onto the tree with the ends of the stocking. Eventually it will adhere itself onto the bark. They can also grow in cut-up tree stumps. They can also be wired onto boards. If grown in pots, they need very well-drained orchid medium. They should not be planted directly into soil. Give them water, especially in summer, and some liquid fertiliser occasionally in spring and summer. They need sun to promote best flowering. The colour of the flowers can echo cream-coloured Clivia that appear at the same time, and also consorts well with the soft blue flowers of Salvia fallax. Propagate by removing rooted pieces from the clump. The main pest is the dendrobium beetle, which can ruin leaes, new shoots and flowers. Remove them by hand in the early evening. You can flick them into a container with some soapy water at the bottom.

Dendrobium speciosum is one of the world's most underrated and exciting of orchids. They are capable of producing possibly the largest display plants and most spectacular shows of mass blooming of any known orchid. Extraordinarily tough, hardy and drought tolerant it should be one of the most cultivated plants ever! It can tolerate near frost to temperatures over 45°c without severe damage.
This orchid is native to a vast section of Australia ranging from Mallacoota (37°33'S) in South-East Victoria to the tropical conditions up past Cairns (16°57′S). Because it is found over such a vast region, botanists have broken the species apart into many subspecies or varieties. It seems every few years they change names again, so we will mainly use the oldest and most accepted names in this guide.
In almost every occasion I have seen this orchid in the wild, it is growing on granite cliff faces or boulders in open grassy paddocks. The photo below shows just how open bright and exposed these magnificent orchids require. They are huge growers, so in time they may require a giant tub or preferment position in the garden.

Once in a past life when I was a beginning native dendrobium hybridist emeritus AOC judge Gordon Giles said something to the effect that "the trouble with you native breeders is that you muck around in your backyards with your toothpicks and you still haven't come up with a hybrid that is as good as a decent speciosum". Although this observation rankled a bit at the time I think I know what he was getting at. 'Rock Lilies' can reliably produce long racemes of relatively large white, cream or yellow flowers late in winter or spring and, being native to most of the Australian east coast, will thrive in their home range given minimum care. Dendrobium speciosum Var. speciosum 'National White' HCC/OSNSW is definitely my favourite native and possibly my favourite orchid overall even though there are probably 'better' clones around.
Den. speciosum does best when given a little protection from the weather extremes of the increasingly angry summer sun and biting winter frosts but even then they will survive these tortures looking only a little worse for wear as a result. There is no need to molly coddle these workhorses like some of the newer temperature and water sensitive hybrids! The ideal situation would be where they receive sun from dawn to sundown under 50% shadecloth on benches that enable some degree of control over slugs and snails.

#gardenersworld #garden #gardening #plant #life #blog #blogger #australia #photography #photographer
Dendrobium speciosum, commonly known as the Sydney rock orchid or rock lily, is a highly variable Australian native orchid that forms a species complex. Its varieties can be found in a range of habitats as an epiphyte (on branches or trunks of trees) or a lithophyte. It has a continuous distribution along the east coast of Australia and in distinct populations along the Tropic of Capricorn. As a lithophyte, it forms gigantic spreading colonies on rocks and cliff faces, often exposed to full sun, with its roots forming dense, matted beds across the rock that anchor the plant. It can be found at altitudes from sea level to 900 metres (3,000 ft).

There are two to five thick, leathery leaves originating from the top of each pseudobulb. These leaves can remain on the plant for up to 12 years. The erect or curved pseudobulbs are large, up to 45 cm (18 in) long. They are thickest at their base, measuring 5 to 7 cm (2.0 to 2.8 in), and taper towards the apex (3 cm (1.2 in)). The showy flowers grow in long racemes on straight or slowly arching, long, starchy stems. Some varieties produce 100 or more 2 to 5 cm (0.8 to 2.0 in), sweetly fragrant flowers per raceme in winter or spring. Flower colour, depending on variety, can be white, cream, yellow or dark yellow. Some cultivars have golden hued flowers. The (predominantly) white labellum is covered with purple dots and veined with red and purple.

Dendrobium is a large genus with around 1400 species spread throughout Asia and the Pacific. Australia has about 56 species, many of which are cultivated. Considerable hybridization has been carried out within the genus to produce improved horticultural forms and a number of naturally occurring hybrids are also in cultivation.
Major taxonomic revision of the Dendrobium group has occurred in recent years with many species being transferred to new genera. Some of these changes have been reasonably widely accepted (eg Dockrillia) while the status of others is less certain. The various forms of Dendrobium speciosum have been transferred to the genus Thelychiton by some authorities but the earlier name is retained here until the taxonomic situation becomes more clear.
Dendrobium speciosum is a lithophyte (growing on rocks) or an epiphyte (growing on another living plant, but not parasitic in nature). Pseudobulbs are up to 45 cm long, erect or spreading, thickest near base and often tapering towards the apex. There are usually 2 to 5 thick leaves at the top of each pseudobulb. Flowers occur on long stems in large clusters which may consist of over 100 flowers per stem. They are usually pure white to creamy yellow with purple dots on the labellum. Flowers are seen from late winter to spring.
There are a number of different form and varieties of Dendrobium speciosum which will become new species under the taxonomic revision. The most commonly encountered are D.speciosum var.speciosum and D.speciosum var.hillii. The later is now regarded as Dendrobium tarberi by many authorities and differs from D.speciosum var.speciosum in having longer, untapered pseudobulbs and is more commonly found growing on trees.
D.speciosum is popular in cultivation and is easy to grow in tropical to temperate climates. It can be grown on branches of trees or on rocks where it receives nutrients through the break down of leaf litter that accumulates around its root system. While the plant is establishing its root system, it may need to be fixed into position by wire or twine. Eventually new roots will form which will grip the substrate firmly. The plant should not be planted directly into soil as the root system is not adapted to constant moisture.

Beautiful plant, my friend and Australia’s Native Orchids make a great inclusion into your garden. They may be planted into rockeries or trees, no matter where you put them when they bloom they are sure to make an impact. As these orchids are naturally found here they are ideal for gardens, the orchids we supply (The Spectacular Dendrobium speciosum) are ideally suited to Cool, Temperate and Subtropical Climates. Some prefer a shaded position while others want maximum light – there are orchids for all situations. We get frosts every year and have many orchids included in our gardens. Orchids, like anything else, just like to be put in the right spot and you will be sur.
We must raise where we are going to plant our orchid above the soil height to allow the water to run away from the plant and also to make it easier for air to reach the root zone. So, we build a ‘Nest’ of rocks to hold our potting mix and orchid, this nest should be no less than 6” (150mm) high. It is a good idea to throw in a layer of rock, broken bricks or similar, this will help get good drainage. With the nest built pour in the potting mix, leave it hilled in the centre as this makes it easier for planting.
Some orchids will be holding very firm in their pot, to get them out takes a bit of work. If they are too tight to pull out easily lay the pot on it’s side and press down on the side of the pot (for big plants don’t be afraid to use your foot), do this a few times as you roll the pot around – this should loosen your orchid for you. Now we need to prepare the orchid for planting – not hard – orchids are tough don’t worry !! Your orchid should have a stack of roots, during planting a lot of these will be broken then rot away, to avoid this we must prepare the plant. Plant is prepared by cutting off the root system so that only 2-3 inches ( 50 -75mm ) of the root system is left. When cut, using your fingers, loosen the remaing roots. The plant will send out new roots very quickly to anchor itself in place, you will find in 12 months you won’t be able to budge the plant. Your Plant’s Ready. Native Orchids live for a long time, I have a piece of a speciosum that belonged to my Grandma and she passed away nearly 50 years ago.
Thank you @ctrl-alt-nwo

Growing under harsh dry and bright Australian conditions it is the perfect orchid for garden planting in tubs or even half wine barrels. Anywhere worldwide that has similar conditions to south-eastern Australia will be able to grow this orchid with ease. Dendrobium speciosum is particularly suited for growing in southern Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, southern France, and California USA.

Those are very unique in their own wow never seen such thing before this is beautiful :)
@ctrl-alt-nwo, Good to know that this plant is free from the Pests. And most importantly when we have plants which will stay Pest Free in my opinion it can spread the ever lasting natural beauty for sure. And after watching these pictures i can say that these flowers are reflecting as Group Of Little Bells. Thank you so much for sharing everytime some diversified plants.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Here we will explain and show you how to put your Aussie Native Orchid into the garden and onto trees. We also have a list of orchids that are available from us that are suitable for your garden. We are able to help with any plant selection, just give us a ring or email us.
It should be noted that your orchid must be planted with the correct amount of light, or the correct orchid chosen for the site to be planted out. Too little light and your orchid will grow great but will not bloom for you.
(Pondside Sarcochilus and Fern)
High light – will take full sun – Dendrobium speciosum ( King Rock or Sydney Orchid )Strong to Filtered Light – Dendrobium species ( ie kingianum,speciosum) and Hybrids. Shaded – not deep shade- Sarcochilus species and Hybrids.In all situations plants love early light and protection from Westerly sun.The planting process is the same for all our orchids. With the site selected and plant in hand, we now come to planting.

@ctrl-alt-nwo,
Unseen before! According to your description it's not depending on climate changes! Probably a well suited plant for my country climate as well! Most of Orchid plants in my country also get Thick leaves! Had no idea so far why was that! Nice explanation and photography! Thank you for sharing!
Cheers~
Dendrobium is one of the largest genera of orchids. Many of them are lithophytic and epiphytic, so they can be grown on rocks or on trees, including the Dendrobium speciosum, which is an Australian, sometimes called the King’s Orchid or the Rock Orchid. It was first named in 1804 from a specimen collected by the surgeon of the first fleet, John White. It forms large clusters, with thick “pseudobulbs” and leather leaves. The plant blooms in late winter and early spring, with spectacular tassels, grouped with small scented flowers in color from white to cream yellow or gold. To see them in the bushes in early spring, this is a wonderful sight.

Growing dendrobium speciosum
This is the page I have been dreading. There have been an awful lot of words written and spoken attempting to deal with the culture for Dendrobium speciosum. I guess that on a website dealing with a single species there has to be some information advising how to grow it. If you want in-depth knowledge, you can simply Google it up and I can tell you there are certainly a lot of good articles out there. Rather then prattling on about using this and that, all in very exacting quantities of course, and boring everyone senseless, I am really only going to give a few ideas to take into consideration.
The first thing that must be said about growing D. speciosum is this: D. speciosum, in all of its forms, is pretty easy to grow. I live in western Sydney and I have experienced temperatures ranging from -6C all the way up to +46C. Cold temperatures do not appear to worry it. However, if frost actually settles on the leaves, the news is not going to be good.
Frost protection is the most important thing for long-term success with D. speciosum. One frosty night can set back your plants for three or four years. Defoliation is the problem. Plants will recover however, but nothing is as ugly as a bush house full of leafless bulbs and a carpet of dead leaves on the gravel floor.
I know this from two major events in my growing career when frost got in and left me with wheelbarrow loads of freshly dropped and dead D. speciosum leaves. Heartbreaking in the extreme! Good news is that new growths will not be affected but it will take three years to grow out the old damage. If you do not take precautions you risk losing the new growths just matured the next time Jack Frost pays you a visit.
These days I just live with the acceptance that I must cover my bush house with an extra layer of shade cloth during the winter. I put it on at the start of June and it comes off again in late September. Conditions during this blackout are dark indeed. By June all racemes that are going to emerge are on their way. If I left the two layers on all year round, the number of racemes would be much lower then I get with one layer.
To see really successful flowerings, you must have strong light all year. As strong as you can provide without the sun actually damaging your plants. If your plants are not flowering for you, low light levels will almost always cause it. So, if your plants are housed between your garage and the six foot high side fence, you probably will not have enough light to form flowering eyes between the leaves of the new growths. Without eyes you cannot have flowers. Give your plants plenty of light all year and you are off to a good start with managing D. speciosum.

Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
I simply couldn't get enough of these beautiful gifts from nature ~ Orchids. It's astounding that there are around 20,000 - 30,000 species of orchids and they look amazing to say the least.
I've been to Singapore gardens & Botanical gardens and I have never seen anything similar with Sydney Rock Orchid. Though the leaves are quite similar to other orchid species, the stem seems unique with how it sprays up and shows its beautiful flowers.
Thanks for sharing :)

Dendrobium speciosum
Dendrobium speciosum is the Botanical name for the Sydney Rock Orchid, and is otherwise called the King orchid. It is an Australian Native plant, and normally becomes over an expansive territory of the Continent, from chilly zones with ices in winter to hotter territories with temperatures achieving 45 degrees centigrade. In pre-spring and Spring, it puts on a staggering mass presentation of fragrant blooms, with the blossom showers up to 30 cm long. The plant has many sub-species, and can be very factor in bloom shading, extending from white and velvety yellow to Golden.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/King_Orchid.Dendrobium_speciosum-Flickr-_gailhampshire.jpg
It is the king 👑
Given a north- or east-facing aspect in a frost-free environment they flower, year after year, from mid winter to late spring. With neglect, rather than pampering, they reward annually with sprays of heavily scented blooms. While orchids perform in a rich variety of flower sizes and colours, they vary little in flower shape. All have a hanging lip, or labellum, to lure insect pollinators, often bees, and many have a scent formulated to attract pollinators.

Dendrobium is a genus of mostly epiphytis and lithophytic orchids in the family Orchidaceae. It is a very large genus, containing more than 1,800 species that are found in diverse habitats throughout much of south, east and southeast Asia, including China, Japan, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Guinea, Vietnam and many of the islands of the Pacific. Orchids in this genus have roots that creep over the surface of trees or rocks, rarely having their roots in soil. Up to six leaves develop in a tuft at the tip of a shoot and from one to a large number of flowers are arranged along an unbranched flowering stem. Several attempts have been made to separate Dendrobium into smaller genera, but most have not been accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.

The Rock Orchid, Dendrobium speciosum, which grows along the east coast of Australia, has shown us how climate change can drive the evolution and survival of species.
Past climate change drove the evolution of this orchid into two subspecies, increasing its genetic diversity, but future climate change is likely to severely reduce its diversity.
Genetic analysis carried out by researchers at the Australian Tropical Herbarium and the Australian National Herbarium has revealed the rock orchid, once thought to be a group of 11 different species, is a single species made up of a northern subspecies, which grows north of Mackay to Cape Melville in Queensland, and a southern subspecies, which grows south of Rockhampton to Genoa in Victoria.

Dendrobium is a diverse genus of orchids with different cultural needs. This culture information is for the phalenopsis-type dendrobiums pictured above. They are evergreen with thin, tall stems (pseudobulbs).
Water
Water your orchids in the morning so that the leaves are dry before night. How often to water depends on the potting media used, the type of pot (plastic or clay), and the size of the pot. Dendrobiums like to be in small pots and are usually much taller than the pot is wide. Because they are usually large plants in relatively small pots, watering twice a week is about average. They like to be almost dry before re-watering.

Native to Southeast Asia, the genus Dendrobium is one of the largest of all orchid groups. There are about 1,200 individual species, and they grow in all manner of climates, from hot, wet lowlands to high-altitude, colder mountains. Growers usually divide dendrobiums into groups based on their growing conditions. All dendrobiums are epiphytes, meaning that they grow on other plants. In nature, they grow on the branches of trees. Some are deciduous and some hold onto their leaves all year round.
Serious collectors often favor the D. nobile, but the most common kind of dendrobium—the kind gracing grocery store shelves—is a hybrid Dendrobium phalaenopsis. This article will focus on those plants.

Dendrobium speciosum, or rock lily, is a popular and easy to grow Australain native orchid. It bears showy racemes of cream flowers sometimes with purple spotted throats in spring. It naturally grows as a lithophyte, growing on rocks, or sometimes as an epiphyte, growing on the trunk or branches of trees. It is not well adapted to growing well in normal soil, so should be grown in a position that is similar to the natural conditions. It can be grown in a pot with a good orchid mix and can also be attached to logs.

The Dendrobium speciosum complex comprises a group of closely related Australian endemic orchids. One of Australia’s most wide spread orchid groups occurring from north eastern Victoria to Cooktown in far north Queensland, the complex shows considerable morphological variability across its range. Although putative morphological groups are recognised that appear to be associated with geographical regions, the pattern of variability is complex and in many areas morphological intermediates also exist.

Hello @ctrl-alt-nwo, nice to meet you again. You discuss the king orchid flower from Australia.
the flowers look pretty good, and can be used as decorations for the yard. I did not expect beautiful flowers like this to grow widely, even in the bushes.
White and cream shade flowers plant are always good choice for planting . Many peoples loves this shades . Rock orchid is a good plant for home garden. Thanks
