Dendrobium nanum Hook.f., Hooker's Icon. Pl. 19: t. 1853 1889. (Syn: Callista nana (Hook.f.) Kuntze; Dendrobium mabelae Gammie); Flora Picture of the Year 2011 - Satish Phadke: Flower hunting with ... is always memorable. We were wandering in the forests of Mahabaleshwar to find some Oberonia species as that was its flowering time. Suddenly I spotted some white orchid flowers on a tree which was at a distance. This turned out to be Dendrobium mabelae which was first time for me though he had photographed it sometime back in 2007-08 with his old camera. We had to struggle a lot to reach the tree with thick tall grass all around, some climbing and other adjustments to take good photographs. Some leeches and ticks bit us which was evident little later. But the new find made my day. You know ..., climbing on high trees is the fun of flora photographing and if fallen down that is additional bonus. I was awarded this bonus once at Matheran for photographing Anjani flower.
