Hard/Soft Cane Dendrobes - I know what we mean .... I think
Sorry if this is a naive question.
None of my references even use the terms hard & soft cane dendrobes, & they certainly don't define them. I know what I *think* people mean. But I'm not certain. Soft cane dendrobes: I've mostly heard the term in relation to plants of the D. nobile growth habit. Is that all? Does it also include all of Section Dendrobium? Does it also include other sections? Hard cane dendrobes: Usually heard in relation to Section Phalaenanthe. Does it also include Secton Spatulata which readily hybridises with the Phalaenanthe species? Any other sections included? Clarification welcomed please. Dave Gillingham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To email me remove the .private from my email address. |

No replies? Was the query too hard, or too stupid??

Thanks, Ray & Wendy. I have to admit to uncertainty & confusion, &
was hoping there might have been a more definitive answer. Thanks again. On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 21:02:18 +1000, Dave Gillingham wrote: Sorry if this is a naive question.
