Looking for info on my dendrobium

[Becca]

Hi! I am looking for info on my Dendrobium Burana Emerald. It was recommended in a different post to ask the seller, but of course the seller recommended me to the info on his website which wasn't much help since it was just general info for dendrobiums. I am trying to find info on what type of dendrobium it is, such as a phalaenopsis type dendrobium or if it is a different kind. If any one has any info it would be greatly appreciated, I haven't had much luck on Google so far either. TIA!

After a great deal of snoofing around on the web here's what I found. It's parentage is Den. Boon Burana X Den. Burana Green, both of which are phal type dens. They are evergreen, warm growers and don't like a winter nap. HTH

Terri thank you so much! How did you find that info so quickly? I must know your secret!

Well first I Googled Dendrobium Burana Emerald, and like you didn't come up with much. So then I went to RHS and looked up it's parentage, and then Googled those. I found a website that had both parents listed under phal type dens with growing conditions. Sometimes you have to work backwards. That's what I did with my Frosty Dawn to figure out it was a formosan. Here's the link to the RHS. It's been very helpful for me.

From that link, which link do I click on? It looks a little confusing since I haven't used it before. I found a link that ask for the seed and pollen parent and a link for doing a grex search, but I am not sure how to use them to find what I need. Thanks!

It took me a couple of tries to figure it out too. I typed in just the Grex name Burana Emerald and then clicked search.
