Dendrobium Samurai 'Puanini' vs Dendrobium Stratiotes

[HiOrcDen]

I have been searching for a Den. Samurai 'Puanini'. I believe this is a hybrid of den Stratiotes and den. Antennatum.

However, the pics I've found of the Samurai and the Stratiotes look practically identical. Is there a significant difference between the two? Is the Samurai perhaps bigger than the Stratiotes, with respect to either the flower size or the overall plant size??

The name is Dendrobium Samarai, not Samurai. The parents are very similar to each other, as well as to their offspring. H&R Nursery in Hawaii sometimes sells seedlings of this cross. I've never seen that variety offered. Most of the time almost all progeny of a primary hybrid look nearly the same.

I’m going to disagree with the “most of the time” part of that.

If the parents are fairly similar looking, sure, but not if they’re quite different.
