I've just started growing orchids. I bought a white phalaenopsis a
few moths ago (in bloom) and as I read about how to care for it I
learned about other orchids and became fascinated.

One day I was at the garden center at Chelsea peers and noticed some
sad looking orchids in the back room. I as if I could have them the
manager gave me two for $10

One was labeled "pink stripe phalaenopsis" – I repotted it and removed
the rotten roots and it's doing fine. The other I guessed was a
dendrobium so I mounted it on a board. It's doing very well—but it
had no label so I don't know what it is.

Here is a photo:

Any idea?

Todd Sedanek,

Susan knows how to use hyperlinks to show her photographs on RGO... see how
simple it is?

Susan,

It's a Dendrobium, and I see a nice new growth on it. Sadly, the chances of
knowing its name are slim to none, even with a photo of the flower, unless
it turns out to be some type of species plant, and even then..........

Enjoy it, and always try to get tags in the future. But, for $5.00, why
complain?
