Monitor it, if it stable then just enjoy the added flowers. In your case it is beneficial because it increases the number of flowers on your spike, while maintaining the gracefulness of the inflorescence. In severe cases the stem could become thick and flattened with many spikes and or flowers fusing together. This could be caused by a number of reasons such as herbicide damage, genetic mutations, bacterial or viral pathogens, etc. This also could be a mild case of plant fascination, which is an abnormal fusing of plant tissue. On rare occasions Dendrobiums spikes can form laterals. Jaquelyn Thomas, which is a primary hybrid of Den. It looks like you have one of the Dendrobiums developed by the University of Hawaii for our cut flower industry. Kaanapali Coffee Farms, Maui Chocolate and Coffee Tours, Punakea Palms, Maui Oma Coffee Roasting Company. I didn’t think dendrobiums had spikes that branched, so I’m just sharing this curiosity Hope this will help you on the characteristics of these 2 Ddc.
This plant may throw flowers about 1-3 times a year and flushes out in winter. and also called “Necklace Orchid”, has a variety of colors from very light yellow to almost brownish.
The filiforme, also called “Chain Orchids”, is a nice yellow color.ĭdc. The long flower spikes with countless, dense small flowers have a strong scent. I’ll try to answer your question about the differences and similarities between the 2 species.īoth plants produce pendant like chain with many tiny flowers. What is the difference/relationship between the Dendrochilum bicallosum and the filiforme? The filiforme will bloom summer to autumn. It's brown and who knows what's growing in there (!), but refreshing all the same.Dendrochilum bicallosum will bloom about this time of year. Just to get to the first falls, you have to wade across a creek, when we were there it was about 18" deep, so people who are nicely dressed, keep this in mind! Anyhow, there are 4 falls, but the 3rd/4th are tougher to get to we always just go as far as the second, which has a nice pool you can take a dip in. So - you've been warned! LOL We wore grubby clothes and water shoes (which we later discarded they were cheap anyhow), and it was the right choice. Folks, if you've not been here, remember this area of Maui gets frequent rain, and each time we've visited there (March, Dec, Dec) it's been muddy as hell. We have been there 3 times now, and one of our favorite parts of the visit a week ago, was watching folks stream from their cars in nice clean clothes, Hawaiian shirts, sundresses, nice clean shoes, lots of brand new running shoes, flip flops, etc. Take a farm tasting tour and learn about all that goes on at a working coconut farm. This coconut farm in Lahaina is a really cool way to learn more about the coconut fruit brought to Hawaii from Polynesia. Also note, you visit this the site at your own risk, as it is not a formal park, and is actually on East Maui Irrigation land, but 'no trespassing' is not enforced it seems. Hawaii is nearly synonymous with coconuts, and a trip to Punakea Palms will fulfill your need to taste some fresh coconuts. Once reset, watch for 6.0, and you'll suddenly see cars parked on both sides of the narrow, curvy road.
As you leave Hookipa, the mile markers climb into the teens, but then reset back to zero. Please note: this review, as with several others in this section, is actually for the bamboo forest hike that is just past the 6 mile marker on the road to Hana.
