How many Den species do you have?
 

I just counted mine and I have 25 different Den species.

How many do you have and give us a peek at your list. :)

anosmum var alba
antennatum
bracteosum
bullenianum
canaliculatum
chrysotoxum
crocatum
cucullatum
draconis
farmeri
findlayanum v oculatum
formosae
kingianum var album x kingianum
lawesii
lindleyi
loddigesii
moniliforme
nobile
pulchellum
speciosum
thyrsiflorum
trantuanii
unicum
uniflorum
victoriae-reginae

I have killed:
cuthbertsonii
formosae
heterocarpum
lamyaiae
brymerianum
mutabile
tobaense
cyanocentrum
masarangense

I am only just starting off with species orchids in general, but I plan to have a LARGE number of dens! So far I've only got:

trantuanii
peguanum
subclausum (on its way in the post)

The subclausum will be the first orchid I'm going to attempt growing outside on my balcony. It's cold tolerant, but will grow equally well in intermediate conditions. This will cover our Irish winters and summers nicely (I hope).

I don't have too many Dens, but most are species

atroviolaceum (v pygmy)
bigibbum (v compactum)
kingianum (tipo and silcockii)
victoria-reginae
spectabile (seedling)
nobile (keikis given to me last summer - one's blooming now) :)

have killed:

lawesii
moschatum (honestly, I had the moschatum a few years, never bloomed, then just up and died) :p
moniliforme

I had avoided Dens for a while - with so many different types, they seemed intimidating to me, but the ones I have now, at least, are all very rewarding :)

Well that's an easy question, I only have 2! kingianum and aphyllum. Neither like me, neither want to bloom.
I do have an aberrans on the way, which should be easier since it doesn't need a winter rest. :)

Let's see...

amabile
anosmum
chrysanthum
findleyanum var. oculatum
speciosum
aggregatum
chrysotoxum
griffithianum
palpebrae
thyrsiflorum
fimbriatum var oculatum
hancockii
moschatum
densiflorum
bracteosum
smilliae

plus a bunch of hybrids... huh, never realized I have so many...

I'm not at all familar with Den species, so I'll have to look all these up! I do want to venture out into Dens a bit more. (which is why I got aberrans)

Den. sp. (like delacouri)
Den. amabile
Den. discolor
Den. elliotianum (aka Den. garrettii)
Den. gregulus
Den. kingianum
Den. lineale
Den. longicornu
Den. nindii
Den. peguanum
Den. stratiotes
Den. taurinum
Den. williansianum (I think, I forgot - they're small seedlings)

only one....cuthbersonii

was thinking of getting a laevifolium someday

Kinda missing Den. unicum. Might get one some time soon, idk.

I've been eyeing Den aberrans for a long while. Latouria Dens are something I've been trying to get back into again.

I really love the Antelope Dens (aka Spatulata Dens)! I think the hybrids pale in comparison to their species counterparts.

Not a huge fan of Formosae Dens, but Den. longicornu is awesome!

Another one of my favorite groups are Dens in the section Stachyobium (i.e. Den peguanum, Den gregulus), 'cause most of them are tiny miniatures that fit into any collection easily.

Oh dang, let's see if I can get these out from memory. I think this is all of the living ones:

nobile
parishii
loddigesii
aphyllum
findlayanum
moniliforme
tortile
hercoglossum
trantuanii
draconis
formosum
cf. chrysanthum
brymerianum
lindleyi (incl. one that's prob. Ueang Pheung)
jenkinsii
lawesii
canaliculatum
speciosum
tetragonum
lichenastrum
prenticei
toressae
striolatum
wassellii
not-wassellii (labeled that but vegetatively very different)
linguiforme
rigidum
anceps
equitans
clavator

Plus probably 8-10 hybrids.

--Nat

Dendrobium peguanum which I nearly killed off but is making a comeback so hopefully I'll see blooms this year.

Dendrobium spectible as well. Probably two years old but growing good.

I think that lawesii is next.

Den. aggregatum
Dendrobium anceps
Dendrobium anosmum
Dendrobium aphyllum syn pierardii
Dendrobium bigibbum compactum
Dendrobium cucumerinum
Dendrobium lithicolum (bigibbum ssp. compactum)
Dendrobium bulbophylloides
Dendrobium equitans
Dendrobium friedericksianum
Dendrobium glomeratum 'HOT PINK'
Dendrobium kingianum
Dendrobium kingianum var. 'Alba'
Den. lineale
Dendrobium primulinum 'DeLeon'
Dendrobium spectabile
Dendrobium torresae
Dendrobium unicum
Dendrobium victoria-reginae
Vappodes phalaenopsis(Dendrobium bigibbum) the regular long canes

Awesome! It is so interesting that many of us have a few of the same plus many other different ones!

I have a bunch on pre-order for the May show next week....I can't wait. I'm not sure what he has in stock. I sent my wish list and hoping that tobaense, harveyanum and parvulum (aka delicatum v parvulum) are in the order.

My wallet is going to suffer next week.

unicum (in bloom)
cuthbertsonii bicolor (in bloom)
tetragonum var. gig.
kingianum
bract. var. tanii
victoria reginae ( in bloom)
"" (blues bro's hcc/aos x royal blue am/aos) in bloom

just traded gracillimum

all are terrarium grown

I have had countless others that I had to leave when I moved.

next time dont leave them...Id take care of mailing if you give them to me LOL

aberrans
jenkinsii
farmeri
glomeratum
kingianum
kingianum Alba
Ellen

ooh...I need a unicum as well
This thread is a bad influence!!!!

unicum is a great species, one of my favorite orchids. Unfortunately I killed mine as it was beginning new growth last spring. :(

--Nat

I have more coming! Next week is our show and I have a bunch on pre-order. Tee-hee

Melissa do you mind me asking where did you get the cyanocentrum??? I want one of those!!! I will look at all of the ones I've got but here is what I can recall.

aggregatum
smilliae
amethystoglossum
spectabile
jenkinsii
nemorale
biflorum
usitae
anosmum
pierardii
senile

and I'm sure that I'm missing at least 2 or 3 more.

I remembered 2 more and I'm sure that I'm forgetting at least 2 that I can't remember the name of right now

lichenastrum
amabile

den atroviolaceum
den speciosum var curvicaule
den cuthbertsonii
den faciferum
den lawesii
den discolor
den amoenum

hmm i had more than i thought :biggrin:

I prefer the cooler growers.

Hi Roly,

I got it through that order we did here on OB from Equatorial Plants / Ron Hanko put it together.

I think they order once a year. I want to try again because you sure can't find that one in the states.

I just got an e-mail from Paramount in Canada and they have my order ready. I'm getting harveyanum x 3 (just in case). :evil:

My wallet is going dry.

Woo hoo! My lawesii is budding and I just got confirmation that the vendor coming to Redlands is bringing me 3 x tobaense and our MOS is shipping our order together to Memphis. No paperwork required because he already took care of it since he's showing at Redlands.

I'm so pumped!

antennatum
tangerinum
spectabile
pierrardi

I have a kind of large collection of dendrobium species:

Dendrobium victoriae – reginae
Dendrobium lamyaiae
Dendrobium kingianum
Dendrobium macrophyllum
Dendrobium atroviolaceum
Dendrobium x superbiens (listed as a natural hybrid)
Dendrobium speciosum ssp. pedunculatum

Dendrobium chrysanthum
Dendrobium lasianthera
Dendrobium (? Also listed as Dockrillia?) aemulum
Dendrobium chrysotoxum
Dendrobium sulcatum
Dendrobium usitae – (listed as a natural hybrid)

I also have 8 Dendrobium Nobile and Dendrobium Green Lantern (Den. Phal type).

After making this list I realize it seems like quite a lot.

I have most of the Densiflora Section!
 

I just realized that I have almost all of the Densiflora (aka Callista) section. :verycool:

amabile
chrysotoxum
farmeri
harveyanum
jenkinsii
lindleyi
sulcatum
thyrsiflorum

I'm just missing (4): and the search goes on! :coverlaugh:

brymerianum
densiflorum
griffithianum
palpebrae

I added a few more:

hercoglossum
chrysopterum
glomeratum
bigibbum 4N x self
lowii
tobaense (YAY!)
schuetzei
hemimelanoglossum

That means I have 37! I just updated my Orchid Journal (aka inventory :evil:).

It never fails that I find a few more to add to the "want list" while doing research on the ones I have.

dendrobium tobaense , dendrobium cinnabarinum, dendrobium nobile , dendrobium tuahnanhii, dendrobium unicum

Just re-stumbled across this, boy it's been a busy year...
I've added-

canaliculatum
discolor v. broomfieldii
gouldii
lasianthera (a scraggy seedling, but it's started 3 new growths)
lineale
mirbelianum (a compot, gave half away)
stratiotes
strebloceras
Plus several primary hybrids

King_Of_Orchid_Growing, if you ever want to sell or trade a few backbulbs of your taurinum and/or nindii, I'd be very interested. They're very high on my want list. I don't have unicum, but see it for sale frequently around here and would be willing to get it for you.

I currently don't have any divisions available of Dendrobium taurinum or Den nindii.

Den nindii never established well and it died.

I had to start over with Den taurinum as well. I found out the hard way, that these were not as tolerant of cooler conditions as Den discolor was. It suffered quite a bit before giving up.

I currently just acquired new seedlings of Den taurinum.

In the near future, I'll be looking to do an Asian import from a Malaysian vendor. In this order, I may consider importing some of the Antelope Dens, idk.

I have at least a couple interested in doing a group order with the Asian seller already. If you're interested, please let me know, so I can include you.


Here're the current Dendrobiums in my collection:

Dendrobium amabile
Dendrobium bicaudatum
Dendrobium discolor
Dendrobium elliotianum
Dendrobium hancockii
Dendrobium gregulus
Dendrobium kingianum
Dendrobium lineale
Dendrobium odiosum
Dendrobium stratiotes
Dendrobium taurinum

I would be interested, thank you. I will PM you.

Anosmum
Goldschmidtianum
Bracteosum
Dockrillia
Gatton Sunray
Unicum
Heterocarpum
Parishii
and than that regular white one from Home Depot that was my first and I have it for years and years but did lost the tag and not sure about the exact name:-)

There are some others but at 1 am and all my orchids are outside, it's a bit too dark to go check them out. I have killed a few, penguanum comes to mind. But it's my favorite species and I'll try just about any of them.

How many Den species do you have?
 

Someone around here calls themselves the Oncidium killer, well, I'm not going to call myself the Dendrobium killer, but in the past, every Dendrobium that has found its way to my house has passed away.

However, now that I'm a little bit more knowledeable about Dendrobium -- thank you for that Orchid Board, I have started acquiring this plant.

Den. spectabile--I bought this two months ago as a Lowes Bag Baby. It is thriving and has produced a small new cane.

Den. species Tanchouzuru 丹頂鶴. This is a very small plant, it looks good even without a flower. I'm growing it like Neofinetia.

That is my Dendrobium list. I have ordered five more Den. monilliforme.

Well, my list is pretty short:

aggregatum
kingianum
no-ID hybrid

My wish list, however, is far longer--you people are BAD influences....

Catherine

Without the primary & other hybrids, not as many as I thought. I'm growing:
scabrilingue
laevifolium
christyanum (aka margaritaceum)
cuthbertsonii compot

At least, I hope I'm growing them. They're all pretty recently acquired.

If I sneak in my primary hybrids, which it looks like I'm about to do, I've got:

bracteosum x laevifolium (hibiki)
cuthbertsonii x psuedoglomeratum
cuthbertsonii x lawesii
lowii x bellatulum (does this cross have a name?)

also a few complex hybrids, but only one that I'm very excited about:
Lori Tokunaga x Lime Frost.

I don't seem to be doing well with Dens just now. The NoID's which were doing well a few years ago have gone downhill or died, I have a couple of new ones to see if I can do better with them.

Species wise I have a loddigesii but that's never done well.

This thread has only just prompted me to realise I seem to have a Den problem in general :hmm
