Dendrobium Semi-wrong name

[cb977]

I got this beauty from a friend last year and have gotten many keikis which I've passed along to friends.

I only have one parental name because the tag must be wrong...it says Den Coleman x The Green...needless to say, I can't find anything anywhere named "The Green" so I just enjoy this one when it's blooming. The plant itself is about 4 ft tall.

I can't find Den. Coleman as a registered hybrid; the other parent could be Den. Green Hornet.
The Green Hornets that I've seen are big, robust tall plants that tend to throw lots of keikis. The flower color of the petals and sepals ranges from white with green blush to clear green; lip almost always contrasting deep purple.
Are there any other 'hints' on the plant tag?

Hi Joanna

The tag is a handwritten one so there's nothing more.
Your description of Den Green Hornet fits this 'chid to a T! I looked in Orchidwiz and couldn't find "Coleman" either...and I can't find pics of Den Green Hornet anywhere.

I guess this one will be considered a NOID, which is just fine with me

Thanks for the info you supplied...it's much more than I knew a few hours ago

I've attached a of the entire plant:

Hey Sue,
I did find where there is a Coleman's Orchids in Brisbane that specializes in Dendrobium hybrids. Perhaps your orchid is from there ? In case you might be interested the email address is colemanbj@bigpond.com
