dendrobiums we got yesterday

[dsim]

8 noID dendrobiums we got yesterday... appreciate IDs, if any.

First 4 are mini ones (or that's how my partner calls them), and the other 4 are regular "big size" dendrobiums.

I can't really help with IDs and it's probably difficult to get acurate ones, but pics 1, 2, 3, 4 and maybe 6, look like they are Dendrobium Phalenopsis type hybrids.

Do you have any pics of the whole plants, it might be easier to identify with that as well.

i dont have picture of the whole plant. but all are dendrobium like canes..

Ah, but because Den is such a big group of plants there can be significant differences between them. Some hang down and some stand upright, some have the flowers spread up the cane and others have a spike out the top. Sometimes it's difficult to tell from just the flowers.

Anyway, I'm not an expert, I only really recognise Den Phal hybrids and everything else gets lumped in 'others' for me.

One suggestion for the second flower - here's a pic I took earlier today of my Den biggum phalenopsis var bicolour. It's been a bright sunny day here and the colours came out well.

Might be involved in the parentage somewhere in any event.

Cheers,
