Dendrobium
Ideal orchids for growing outside, since they are resistant to the heat and will survive some neglect.
In the summer, the leaves must be in the shade. Even 1 or 2 hours exposure will turn the leaves white, and they will die and drop off.
They come in a wide range of colours and there is a huge range of species. The flowers are produced on large sprays and although an individual flower may only last a week, the spray goes on for months. They flower in autumn and winter.
