Hi all, Someone brought in what was labeled "Den. farmeri v. aurea" to AOS judging in SF on June 1. The plant looked just like a typical Den. farmeri - four sided pseudobulbs, etc. but the flowers were a uniform gold color instead of the two-tone white flower with gold lip.
A photograph of the flower can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/36hje The book Dendrobium and its Relatives makes no mention of a solid gold colored form. Is this really a species or is it a hybrid? No one had heard of the 'v. aurea' form of Den. farmeri, including Ron Parsons. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks! -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
