I ordered a dendrobium and received this. Vanda?

This tiny plant arrived in a 2.5 inch pot. I looks like it's in dirt? I haven't done anything except to water and feed weekly weakly and one new leaf grew and now a tiny spike is starting. It this a vanda? I never thought they were this tiny.Attachment 158448

That's definitely a spike and definitely some vandaceous type plant.
Might be something like a sarcochilus or ascocentrum? What dendrobium had you ordered? |
I just thought of another possibility....schoenorchis.
|
I think you're right after looking up schoenorchis. What I had ordered was a dendrobium nobile. The picture showed it had reddish purple blooms covering the stems. I ordered through Etsy and they referred me to the seller to negotiate and that didn't help either. The spike is now even with the top of the leaves. I'll post a pic here when it blooms.
|
For what it's worth... Schoenorchis probably are worth more than Den. nobile.
|
The one thing we can say for certain is that it isn't a nobile Dendrobium.
|
I think @keysguy hit it with Ascocentrum. Asco. miniatum if I had to guess a species.
|
We may know more when it blooms but it definitely is something way more interesting than a nobile dendrobium.
Whoops, did I say that out loud? :rofl: That's still no excuse for what happened and the vendor's unwillingness to rectify. Who was the vendor? I've never dealt on Etsy but there are a lot of threads here about a particular unscrupulous vendor on ebay who most of us here on this forum steer clear of because of this exact same bait and switch practice. |
The plant form is vaguely familiar, but I’ll be damned if I can nail it down.
Tuberolabium? Cleisocentron? |
Spike is progressing

Still not quite in bloom, but looks like it's gonna be yellow.
It even has two infinitesimally tiny droplets of nectar on the flower spike. |
