This week’s orchid is the Dendrobium Green Lantern, in honor of
the movie that comes out in theaters today. Okay, so this is just a good
excuse to post a picture of Ryan Reynolds in costume:
Green Lantern, The Superhero
On to the Green Lantern orchid. The Dendrobium Green Lantern is a lovely hybrid of Thai and Vietnamese species (
Dendrobium Dawn Maree x
Dendrobium cruentum) with a furry coral-colored lip and white petals with light green striping.

I’m not really sure where the “Green Lantern” name came from, because
there are certainly much greener orchids out there (like the
Aeranthes grandiflora,
which I featured awhile back). But hey, it’s still gorgeous no matter
what. And who knows—maybe it has some sort of superpowers.
