Found this wild "yellow cats tail" like orchid in the Mountain Province rainforest.
Dendrochilum Filiforme is a minature grower with golden yellow flowers on a long pendulous spike. A small pseudobulbed gem that will grow into a specimen in a 4"pot. Use shredded spaghnam/isolite(polystyrene) mix or similar media that will stay damp but not soggy wet.
Comes from Philippines and likes warm to intermediate conditions. Although Dendrochilums are often mountain plants, they are very adaptable to cultivation.
Extremely unsatisfactory macro, I blame it on the sun having gone behind the fast-moving clouds above the Deep Cut show.
This just grows and grows yet remains very compact at its base. After normal watering I give it a further watering with pure water.

An unnamed Coelogyne species from the Philippines, which has been imported into Australia as Dendrochilum anfractum or Dendrochillum cootesii (orange). This taxon is not Dendrochillum anfractum. Both Jim Cootes and Henrik Pedersen (pers. email), have been unable to uncover a published name.
A small Dendrochilum species. Well, actually, I guess it's about average-sized, for a Dendrochilum.
The plant has 4 leafed growths and 6 backbulbs, and fills about half of a 3 1/4" square pot. Each growth is around 1 1/2" tall, with one 6" leaf atop the growth. Flowers have a natural spread of between 1cm and 1.1cm.
Flowers are borne on a long, arching wire-like raceme, which measures 9" from the first (most basal) bloom to the leaf axil.
This orchid received the Special Award for culture or special beauty and appeal at the Ashfield Mall Winter Show 2011.
Name altered by the RHS. Previous name Dendrochilum tenellum.
