Our Den. formosum is found throughout India, South East Asia, Borneo and the Philippines. This particular cultivar, fma petaloid alba 'White Feather' is a one-of-a-kind beauty! This dreamy looking orchid certainly lives up to its name. It is a petaloid form, an extremely rare fma that has the lip resembling the 3rd petal. Petals are so soft and feathery, and supposedly fragrant.
