Confirming the Dendrobium Moschatum
(Gold).
I have a yard full of them and I have
Pink blooms in early June and the Gold in late June and July. I have also seen a
bright yellow.
I have noticed they will produce a
lot of keikeis when given lots of sunlight. Also remember, do not cut
the bare leafless canes, that is where you will get next years bloom
spikes.

Greetings -
This division was among some given
to me a couple of
years ago. I did not write down the name, because
I
was sure I'd remember. Well, my memory said Dendrobium
parishii, which
it surely is not. When it turned out
to be *not* deciduous (even though I
water-starved it
in winter), I thought perhaps it was a
reed-stem
epidendrum; that also seems incorrect.
I believe it is a
species; the person who gave it to
me pretty much sticks to species
plants.
Sadly, it is mounted on a small cork square. The canes
are about
18" (.5m), no aerial roots, slightly
pubescent. Flowers are about 2"
(50mm), vivid yellow,
with a slightly pouched lip - the lip may have
a
slight fringe as the flowers finish opening. Scent of
melted
wax.

Can
anyone hazard a guess?
Thanks - Nancy
