Dend. agathodaemonis (cuthbertsonii)
Also known as D. cuthbertsonii var. agathodaemonis - to me the plants seem a bit more leggy and the flowers do not have the dark markings on the lip, but I am not sure that this is characteristic:

Should probably have added that Wood in his book on the Oxyglossum Dendrobiums considers this a synonym of cuthbertsonii. Orchidwhiz also treats it as a synonym as does IOSPE.

It should have smooth leaves too.
Love it, Ron. How do you rate this species? I am thinking about it.

Tom, the leaves on mine are not smooth but slightly pebbled, though not nearly as much as the ordinary cuthbertsonii. I like the unmarked lip, but as far as culture is concerned it seems very much the same as cuthbertsonii. |

It may not be smooth-smooth, but it should not have the same rough texture like Cuthbertsonii. How do you compare yours with Jeff9's plant?(he posted not long ago here)

Missed his posts but did a search and found it. Pictures are gone (on Flickr also). Checked Popow Orchids where he got them and their picture looks very similar to my plant, though the flower color is different. |

Ron, I have bumped Jeff's thread up for you.
I believe red is the most common color. Last year, when I tried to order one, Andy told me all his plants had pink flowers instead..now I am thinking about it again or I can wait for your plant to get big, then we can do a trade.  |

No idea why, but both show the message, "This photo is currently unavailable" and when I click on the photos it takes me to his photostream on Flickr where these pics are nowhere to be found - very strange.
