Description
Growing wild in Singapore, Pigeon Orchid (Dendrobium crumenatum) flowers are bright white and very fragrant. The insides of these flowers are tinted yellow as well. They are tropical plants and found all over Singapore, both growing wild and used as city decoration.
The Pigeon Orchid blooms when it experiences quick changes in temperature. In most cases this occurs as a result of a rainfall, which cools off the air in tropical areas rather quickly.
