Hi folk, I have two questions that I hope other subscribers to the two lists can please help me wiht.
Question 1 : I have two Cattleyas flowering now. One is labelled as Cattleya gaskelliana and the other as Cattleya mendelii. They both look the same or at the very least similar. How do I know/ tell the difference between these two species? If I look at photos in books and on the Internet I cannot tell the difference. Question 2 : I bought a plant which was labelled as Dendrobium chryseum. It looks different to my Dendrobium fimbriatum var occulatum but I cannot find a photo of Dendrobium chryseum nor can I find a description (have not looked too hard for that!). Flowering now also I have a plant that I bought as Dendrobium flaviflorum from Taiwan. I believe that this is now called Dendrobium fimbriatum. Structurally it looks like my Dendrobium fimbriatum var occulatum and it too is different from the plant labelled as Dendrobium chryseum. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Keep well and kind regards Mike _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
