I've added-

canaliculatum

gouldii
lasianthera (a scraggy seedling, but it's started 3 new growths)
lineale
mirbelianum (a compot, gave half away)
stratiotes
strebloceras
Plus several primary hybrids

King_Of_Orchid_Growing, if you ever want to sell or trade a few backbulbs of your taurinum and/or nindii, I'd be very interested. They're very high on my want list. I don't have unicum, but see it for sale frequently around here and would be willing to get it for you.

I currently don't have any divisions available of Dendrobium taurinum or Den nindii.

Den nindii never established well and it died.

I had to start over with Den taurinum as well. I found out the hard way, that these were not as tolerant of cooler conditions as Den discolor was. It suffered quite a bit before giving up.

I currently just acquired new seedlings of Den taurinum.

In the near future, I'll be looking to do an Asian import from a Malaysian vendor. In this order, I may consider importing some of the Antelope Dens, idk.

I have at least a couple interested in doing a group order with the Asian seller already. If you're interested, please let me know, so I can include you.


Here're the current Dendrobiums in my collection:

Dendrobium amabile
Dendrobium bicaudatum
Dendrobium discolor
Dendrobium elliotianum
Dendrobium hancockii
Dendrobium gregulus
Dendrobium kingianum
Dendrobium lineale
Dendrobium odiosum
Dendrobium stratiotes
Dendrobium taurinum

I would be interested, thank you. I will PM you.

There are some others but at 1 am and all my orchids are outside, it's a bit too dark to go check them out. I have killed a few, penguanum comes to mind. But it's my favorite species and I'll try just about any of them.

Someone around here calls themselves the Oncidium killer, well, I'm not going to call myself the Dendrobium killer, but in the past, every Dendrobium that has found its way to my house has passed away.

However, now that I'm a little bit more knowledeable about Dendrobium -- thank you for that Orchid Board, I have started acquiring this plant.

Den. spectabile--I bought this two months ago as a Lowes Bag Baby. It is thriving and has produced a small new cane.

Den. species Tanchouzuru 丹頂鶴. This is a very small plant, it looks good even without a flower. I'm growing it like Neofinetia.

That is my Dendrobium list. I have ordered five more Den. monilliforme.

[catherinecarney]

Well, my list is pretty short:

aggregatum
kingianum
no-ID hybrid

My wish list, however, is far longer--you people are BAD influences....

Without the primary & other hybrids, not as many as I thought. I'm growing:
scabrilingue
laevifolium
christyanum (aka margaritaceum)
cuthbertsonii compot

At least, I hope I'm growing them. They're all pretty recently acquired.

If I sneak in my primary hybrids, which it looks like I'm about to do, I've got:

bracteosum x laevifolium (hibiki)
cuthbertsonii x psuedoglomeratum
cuthbertsonii x lawesii
lowii x bellatulum (does this cross have a name?)

also a few complex hybrids, but only one that I'm very excited about:
Lori Tokunaga x Lime Frost.

I don't seem to be doing well with Dens just now. The NoID's which were doing well a few years ago have gone downhill or died, I have a couple of new ones to see if I can do better with them.

Species wise I have a loddigesii but that's never done well.

This thread has only just prompted me to realise I seem to have a Den problem in general
