Help with an odd Dendrobium ID
Hi all,
Someone brought in what was labeled "Den. farmeri v. aurea" to AOS judging in SF on June 1. The plant looked just like a typical Den. farmeri - four sided pseudobulbs, etc. but the flowers were a uniform gold color instead of the two-tone white flower with gold lip. A photograph of the flower can be found he http://tinyurl.com/36hje The book Dendrobium and its Relatives makes no mention of a solid gold colored form. Is this really a species or is it a hybrid? No one had heard of the 'v. aurea' form of Den. farmeri, including Ron Parsons. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks! -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org |
