I got this orchid at a orchid sale and I did not get the name of it .
I have had it for 1 and 1/2 years its finally blooming and looks great.
One problem don't know what kind it is.
It is some kind of cane orchid that is on a small wood slab, and has thin thin roots

Thanks in advance,
Carol D.

My guess is Dendrobium pierardii.

With the color variation in the flowers I would guess Den. aphyllum...pierardii is a more uniform color from what I have seen.

I think pierardii is the same as aphyllum. I could be wrong though......

It's all very confusing...from what I can tell Den. aphyllum was also called Den. pierardii, but is now called Den. cuculatum. Pierardii is a uniform pink color, cuculatum has pink petals and a white/cream lip. Though I am sure if we wait a week or two the taxonimists will change this around yet again

Thank you all so much
I started making sure I have the names of all my orchids now.
This helped.
Everyone have a wonderful, beautiful orchid day.

D, you beat me to it!
Isn't it amazing how much confusion there is over this one plant...or is it two?

if you want to get the species name verified, send an inflorescence to a taxonomic authority. AOS website has a list of taxonomists that they 'approve' - I suggest AOS because if you were to receive an AOS award for your plant, assuming it is a species, it would have to be identified.
If you're close to Marie Selby Gardens, that would be a place to start.
