Default Friends on the patio

Hey Dave, It just shows to go that nothing is written in stone. I wonder if
Orchid Wiz would like to know.

I started looking for pics of the orchids that you listed, still could not
find all of them & what
gave my cross the heavy deep purple colour?
Thanks for the info.
Cheers Wendy

Very nice indeed, Wendy.
I went looking up the lineage of the Den, and found what I believe to be
an
error in Orchid Wiz:

D. Vineyard is given as 1/8 phalaenopsis & tokai, 1/4 discolor, & 1/2
veratrifolium. No argument - it's one of the photos that worries me:

D. veratrifolium is a synonym for D. lineale. Historically, very early in
the
piece a terrestrial orchid - Phaius tankervilleae - was also named as D.
veratrifolium until the error in generic classification was identified.

Orchid Wiz's photo illustrating D. veratrifolium is in fact of Phaius
tankervilleae. I believe it would be highly unlikely (read impossible)
for this
plant to be hybridised wirh a Dendrobe.
