Pigeon Orchid
Dendrobium crumenatum |
The Pigeon Orchids grow naturally at the park. These orchids are frequently seen on many huge roadside trees in Bintulu especially the Rain Tree (
Samanea saman). However at the park they can be seen hugging on the Eugenia oleina trees and oil palm trunks. It has been largely noticed that these orchids keep their flower buds on hold, waiting for a sudden drop in temperature to burst out into flowers. As such in a certain locality they will simultaneously bloom in response to a heavy rainstorm, albeit for a period of 9 days later. The flowers are fragrant.
