what dend. is this? - Orchid Board

Hi friends! I am sure this is a basic question... but I used to have one of these types of dendrobiums (long story, but I'm trying to nurse it back), and it was a noid, and I'd love to get another one, now that I know I won't try to kill it.

Do you know what it's called and where I might find it? I have searched, but often times I find places that tell me names of orchids without photos, so I can never be sure. I know sometimes they have this same type of orchid in other colors as well, and I just wish I knew the name of what I was searching for, AND where to find it

I recently bought a dend. delicatum thinking that might be it, but it turns out the flowers are much smaller (although still beautiful).

Any help you could give me would be great! Thanking you!

I think it might just be a white phal type den. I don't think that should be too hard to find, although I think think I've seen many white ones

Like Camille, I think it is a phal type hybrid, but there are so many NoID ones of these it would be difficult or impossible to find a name.

Den phal type hybrids are very popular and sold all over the place (at least here in the UK). I'm afraid it might just be a case of keeping your eye out for one.

Thanks for that! I found a place online (which I have linked on my home computer so unfortunately I can't remember the name) to find some id types, so next payday I am going to get a couple. I love the sprays of blooms on these.

Unfortunately at our local stores they only have big leaf phals, nothing else. Maybe another time of the year though they will get some!

Have you tried Lowes and Home Depot? They usually have tons of those here.

only phals at ours : (

Try looking at different times of year. I'm in the UK, but I find my local stores only have phals most of the year, but will suddenly get other interesting things like Dens & Oncs for short periods.

Although I hardly need an excuse to go orchid looking, this will help, especially if it's something that I may "miss"

if it's only for short periods of time, haha

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello I have one Dendrobium looking like the one on the picture and the name of it is Emma White 'Bridal Bouqet' sorry but I don't remember where did I get it,because it was some years ago, but knowing the name maybe will be easer to find it.Good luck.There is a pic of mine to compare.
Sorry but I just can't upload the picture of it,somehow the attachment doesn't work for me.Look below at my next post,I was able to downloaded.

My dendrobium always have a lot of flowers and if you find one like mine you should be very happy with it.Good luck
