Epidendrum peperomia syn. Nanodes porpax (???)

[kavanaru]

ok, here is another question regarding ID of my plants. First time blooming at my place. Labeled as Nanodes porpax.

The flowers is in this stadium since 3 days ago, and does not seem to further open... however, what confused me is the colour of the flower, which does not seem to resemple at all those found in google for Nanones porpax IOSPE PHOTOS

Does anybody here has a clue what could be the case here? A different colour form that I do not know from Nanodes porpax?


The plant really looks like Nanodes porpax.

P.S.- I know the pictures are really bad, but they are good ilustrating the actual colour of my plant

Not that I have one of these, but from your photos, I can not imagine in any way that it's N. porpax. I'll be really seriously surprised if it turns out to be.

Wow Ramon! That is a mystery! Looks like it's going to have a yellow lip for sure.

[kavanaru]

ok, it has open further, and definitely it does not look at all like Epidendrum peperomia (Syn. Nanodes porpax)

does anybody has a clue what it could be?

I like anyway but would love having the correct name for it..

[whygreenberg]

Definitely not the porpax. But, it IS a beautiful little cutie!! I'll be interested to see if anyone can come up with the name...it will need to go on my list!

Ramon,
I know this is an old thread, but did you ever get the name for this one?

Hi Steve, the plant in bloom is Dendrobium loddigesii. There were two plants in the same pot, a larger Nanodes (which is in the meantime a monster weed!) and a very little tiny piece of Dendrobium. The first bloom (shown here) was also deformed therefore difficult to ID. It has grown now into a very nice plant and has bloomed with "perfect" flowers as well...

When I saw this one, my first thought was Dend. loddigesii as well. I was wondering if there was an Epi that looked like a Dendro!
