Dendrobium Aussie Hybrids
Look what I found!! A nursery here has some unflowered seedling Australian Hybrid Dendrobiums!!
Burnham Nurseries - Online Orchid Shop Enter the shop, choose 'Product Overview' on the left hand side, then scroll down to 'Orchid Hybrids' and you'll see 'Dendrobiums - Australian Hybrids' I ordered three crosses: Dendrobium (Zip x King Wong) x (Gillian Leaney x Tweed) Dendrobium (Ellewong x Zip) x (Gillian Leaney x Tweed) Dendrobium Miara x kingianum 'Speckles' |
How could you do this to me? Oh well I haven't been on ebay for 3 months! What the h*ll! Judi

Go for it, Judi! I'm going to ask them if they can get any of those super "Hot Cold Den Hybrids" (Australian Orchid Nursery - Dendrobiums) as well... I'd go broke buying them! :lol:
Happy New Year! What a better way to ring in the year than with an orchid order????!? |

That's really cool shakkai... the kingianum 'Speckles' is my favourite hybrid in my collection. It has really delicate looking flowers, strong racemes and it keikis like a hawaiian midwife. Check out these new growths and keikis:

Happy New Year, Undergrounder!! Thanks for the info! The kingianum 'Speckles' was the only one I couldn't find photos for when I was searching to see what these crosses might throw. With all of the others, I found photos of various named clones of those grexes.
Your plant looks wonderful - so lush and healthy!! What height is your plant? Is that it's full size? I can't wait 'til mine get here!! |
Fingers crossed, this nursery will keep getting new varieties in...
I've looked at the species make-up of the crosses I selected, and it is really interesting to see the wide variety that goes into these - and how complex they are! For example, for Den. (Ellewong x Zip) x (Gillian Leaney x Tweed) Ellewong x Zip: is: {[(kingianum x fleckeri) x speciosum] x (Den. kingianum x tetragonum)} X {Den. kingianum x [(Den. speciosum x Den. kingianum) x tetragonum]} crossed with: Gillian Leaney x Tweed: {[(Den. speciosum x Den. kingianum) x kingianum] x [( Den. falcorostrum x Den. fleckeri) x (fleckeri x speciosum)]} So, predominantly kingianum, but with fleckeri, speciosum, tetragonum and even some falcorostrum in there! |

It is fullsize, this was it in flower last year. The grower was Bill, bought at a show. As you can see he's a good grower. |
Be still my heart!!! :drool: Now I'm not only impatient for my plants to arrive - I want to see them bloom!!! What a great plant! And by all accounts I've read, these are exceedingly easy to look after.
I got most of the information from this page: Australian Dendrobiums It has lots of great information about the colour ranges of some of the different parents. For example: Quote:

Thanks for the info, Andrew. I haven't gone to any of the really big shows here - though I might change that this year! But I haven't seen the 'Tropicool' or 'Equacool' types available. I will definitely keep my eyes open, and in the mean time, I will send some emails to see what I can find. One way or another, I'll find a way to grow some of these!
