Sunray was an anti-gravity racer in the mid to late 21st century. Light and fast, with a large engine, it won a series of races. However, its main fame came from its bright and distinctive colour scheme.
Dendrobium Gatton Sunray is an orchid hybrid which was registered in 1919, and was awarded an FCC/RHS, which is the highest award an orchid can receive for quality , in accordance with the set judging rules. Today 99 years later it is still commonly grown because of it's spectacular flowers and it's ability to grow into one of the largest cultured orchids available. Gatton Sunray has two species in it's breeding. The small growing Dendrobium chrysotoxum with it's wonderful golden flowers and the much larger Dendrobium pulchellum ( formerly dalhousianum), with pale pink flowers and dark purple spotted lip, which was used twice. My plant is at it's biggest size ever being 1.5 metres high.

“I am in awe of flowers.
Not because of their colors,
but because even though they
have dirt in their roots,
they still grow.
They still bloom.”
