Dendrobium aggregatum, lindleyi variation in bloom
7 Attachment(s)
Hey Orchid Lovers - :D
Here are a couple of pics of my Dendrobium aggregatum, lindleyi variation, that I mounted a last year. I was so surprised and elated when I noted a bloom spike! I took TONS of pics of the spike developing and then blooming. I could almost do a time-lapse of development. example - Attachment 75053 Attachment 75054 I have since remounted it along with some additional plants, onto a cork log. You can see the nylon cords still in place, but each of the plant groups have new root growth with a few new leaves here and there. It should be perfect to move into winter for a little rest, then hopefully one of the plants will bloom next spring - please.gif. I will definitely post pics of that - !!! Hope you like them!

Nice! I got one of these earlier this year ... been growing well, hope I can get it to bloom ...

Sonya:
Make sure you put it somewhere cool this winter and almost starve it for moisture. I put mine in a back corner and totally forgot it until it started to form a bloom stalk. Then it caught my eye! The temp drop and dry winter is what sets the bloom for these beauts! Steve |
Beautiful! I love this and related Dens. Looks more like lindleyi, though, not jenkinsii, which is much smaller and blooms with shorter and fewer-flowered racemes. Thanks for the spike development pics, too, very cool! :)

Oops - lindleyi it is!
Hey everyone -
Originally I had mislabled the above pictured plant, but gnathaniel was quick to catch the mistake. I have asked a mod to change the title to reflect the accurate variant of this plant. It is Dendrobium aggregatum, lindleyi variation, not as originally labeled, Den aggragatum, jenkensii var. Thanks, Steve (gnathaniel: Good catch -:bowing!!! Boy - I am glad you decided to look. I had both at one time and when I was writing the original post I had jenkensii in mind:dumb:. I will go through and edit my posts. I really appreciate the correction! Sorry to everyone that looked earlier!:blushing: Steve) |
I really like your mount! It looks great! :)

I still find these confusing to differentiate, made worse by the fact that their onetime 'unified-species' status led to hybridization btw the two without always labeling them as such. I have one seedling that I think is probably lindleyi x jenkinsii (Den. Ueang Pheung), but I got it labeled as "aggregatum" with no further info. Oh, well...
