I saw this recently and it was presented as Dendrobium lituiflorum. BUT a tag in the pot had Dendrobium nobile. That seems to present a problem.
At first glance, these flowers seem to be a bit more elongated or slender in appearance then nobile. Everything I could find says that D. lituiflorum has pendulous canes. These were clearly erect. But like I said, the flowers for a D. nobile seemed a little "off".
Any body ever grow something like this?
I wonder what a hybrid between nobile and lituiflorum would look like?
There is no better thrill then catching fish using flies that you tied!
