and Dendrobium lamellatum

Did you sit on those pseudobulbs!? oke:

The ternatense is more like what I call musciferum, though ternatense may be valid? My macrophyllum has almost completely round leaves.

Whatever macrophyllum is, I like those hairy little darlings. The way the flowers cluster on the lamellatum is interesting, unique!

I had to look up lamellatum -- it looked familiar but not the name. I see that the synonym for this is platycaulon, a name I knew. I'll have to make a name change on my tag.

Thanks, Uri. Nice photos, also.

Or perhaps I'm wrong - it could be platycaulon too

Macrophyllum is the more spectular bloom ( the 2nd spike has grown very quickly ), but I like both and again nicely grown plants!!! Jean

I love these 'weirdos'... Its gonna take a long long time for my lamellatum to grow to that size... Great blooming, Uri..!

No -- apparently the preferred name is lamellatum. At least according to Jay Pfahl of orchidspecies.com: (http://www.orchidspecies.com/denlammelatum.htm)
