I'm soooooo confused ( as my daughter would say)

I guess I'll just write "orchid" in my word document is use tokeep trakc of
them.. That will cover all of them!

I would be interested , but it looks like you really need to be a plant
genetecists to figure it out, or have a unblemished traceable pedigree.

still get befuddled.

Looking at some of my No ID orchids, that helpfull users on this game
have named for me, got me to wondering

Some items that I posted as a DGMRA no name (based on the visuals of
the Pseudobulb) have been ID as Odontocidium's . I also have
Vulystekeara's which look so simialr, I do not know what the
difference is.
Any pointers to sites that can give tutorials, or books? The Ortho
books I have don't get that specific?

Sigh. Eventually You can quite holding my hand



Hi all, There is no way to tell from psudobulbs as all oncidiinae grow
the same way-- you can tell oncidiinae from cattleyas & dendrobiums but
all species {or almost all} and all hybrids have the same bulbs some
are larger than others & some are round some elongated but they all
grow the same way--- that's what tags are for !!! G Bill
