Yamamoto Dendrobium Hybrid. 1.8.15
Yamamoto Dendrobium nobile hybrid. 1.8.15
This was unlabeled when I bought it, years ago. Probably more than 5 years. I think the variety is "Fancy Angel, Lycee". Blooms intermittently, reliably, very nice. I usually just water, sometimes some MG - Tomato at 1/4 tsp per gallon.
I've not gotten any Nobile to bloom yet, Ok alive. But I have several dendrobium type that did really well outside and inside. I think Nobile's from Thailand and Kingianum's from Australia. Jan is a real great time for lots of orchid to bloom.
Daniel, the Dendrobium in question is certainly not Fancy Angel 'Lycee'. That one doesn't have a brown/maroon spot in the throat. I think it's Love Memory 'Fizz'.
Thanks, probably right. All are from unlabeled purchases, and I identified from photos. I have both Fancy Angel 'Lycee' and Love Memory "Fizz', so I must have mixed them up.

ReplyDeleteI think you are right about origins. Nobile's do really well for me, better than any other orchid. Nice, this time of year.
