Dendrobium Golden Aya is an orchid hybrid originated by T.Nagasaka in 1985. It is a cross of Den. aphrodite x Den. capillipes. It is considered a "primary hybrid" because it is a cross between two species.
This is a deciduous dendrobium, meaning that its leaves will yellow and drop as it goes into its dormancy phase. Please see this fascinating article by the American Orchid Society for further information:
Please note as with all deciduous orchid varieties, its leaves will yellow and fall off when buds are forming and blooming. Eventually, the canes will be bare of leaves when in full bloom.
