Theyre both nice but I really like the Diplocaulobium. Is that related to Dendrobiums?

That first one is soo nice! The blooms remind me of Den tetragonum. It's too bad that you're having such bad luck getting the Sarco you want. The one you have is very nice, but I guess it's not the same as having the 'chocolate'. My Bessie is doing great, she's still busy with her new leaf. Do you know how long it takes for it to reach blooming size?

Camille, I think they should be blooming size in one or two year... the Velvet did in less than one year, but it seems to be a very robust cross..

It was Dendrobium abbreviatum in the past... but the whole group was given genus staus..

They are both beautiful Ramon! I love the Dip.! Very cool flowers. The Sarco. is really pretty too. I know how disappointing it is to buy a plant thinking it's a particular clone and then have it be something entirely different. I bought a Paph. Magic Lantern like that. It turned out to be mostly white with a little pink on it. Not at all what I expected or hoped for.

Ramon, I am not sure what you meant to say, but I don't think yours is Diplocaulobium phalangillum. Based on the photos, I think yours is Diplocaulobium abbreviatum, which "It was Dendrobium abbreviatum". Dip. abbreviatum is not a syn of Dip. phalangillum.

BTW, nice plants and flowers.
