Hi!
Two years ago I got a Keiki from this Dendrobium without any clue about its name. It has turned to be a relative of D. nobile, but canes are thin, and the flowers have a different tepal configuration. It seems to be evergreen, as it did not like at all the idea of being without water in winter.
I would be very happy if you could provide a name for this plant.
Thanks,
Tango

Well it is definitely is a relative of D. nobile. But the canes are really thin. I think it's a wild plant.

I have one that is very similar... I got it labeled as Den friedericksianum, needing warmth and no rest period, with yellow flowers. It bloomed (being in the greenhouse with watering all winter), and this is what I got. Not yellow. The vendor from whom I got it said that it looked like Den. nobile. It sure does, but doesn't grow like one. I have labeled mine Den. sp ... Considering the source, pretty sure it's a species. Den. nobile likely has different populations (it comes from a wide elevation range, from 200-2000 m) with different cultural needs and growth habit. This one has long, fairly thin and pendant canes, blooms very nicely being warm and watered all winter. (It's getting ready to bloom again) So it very well may be Den. nobile even though it is receiving conditions that are supposedly "wrong" for the species. (If it grows and blooms, obviously not wrong for this plant...)

Thanks!

I agree, it looks like a D. nobile type.
I have seen many physical variations of it, even had to ask for expert help to ID one.

@Roberta
Yeah, it does look like a D. nobile too.
I have a D. friedericksianum.
It had yellow blossoms on it when I got it.
It bloomed yellow blossoms, as expected, on it again, the following season.

It did not bloom last year.
I blame the eruption.
It's looking good right now, hopefully it's getting ready to bloom again soon.
It's on a tree doing well with 1-1/2 to 2' PBs.

I may be wrong, but I'll swear I saw a few of it's PBs continue to grows longer in a second season instead of just beginning all new PBs.
I'm watching it close this year to see if I can see that happen again.
Got to go out and cut brush underneath it to get closer and see it better.
I'm expecting buds to start showing on it soon.
Looking forward to it blooming.

It's amazing how variable D. nobile is!
Thank you Voyager.
