I saw this Dendrobium at a Home Depot recently. The plant wasn't super healthy and a bit over priced but I fell in love.
It is a typical hard caned Den. with yellow/beige twisty petals and sepals and a purple streaked lip. The thin I really loved is that it smelled like honey.
Can anyone identify it for me? I would love to buy one of my very own.

Thanks.

I love antelope-type dends, no idea on the ID though, sorry, but it looks kinda like the native Aus and PNG types, ask Roy, he would know if it was an Australian (and probably even if its not!)

Its very pretty by the way

Turns out that I know someone who bought one of these with a tag. If I'm reading a the tag right it is Den. anchane x Den. cana.
Does this sound right? The tag simply said D. Anchane Cana, which we all know is probably not correctly formatted.
Now does anyone know where I might find one?

I believe that the little bits and pieces of names might be the result of a hybridizer writing short cut or abbreviated names, then a lab, then a producer or grower taking the abbreviated notes as the hybrid name.

From the photos, the plant looks very diminutive. Based on the plant size and the flower shape, and color patterns, I would hazard a guess that there is Den canaliculatum ("cana"). I have seen hybridizers use "canal" as an abbreviation, because it tells them what they need to know. Don't know what "anchane" is, but there is a yellow from way back named "Anching Lubag". I don't know if this is the reference, but the results are compatible. See what I'm getting at here. For a hybridizer making the cross, the parents are very clear using the abbreviations, but for someone not as familiar with the parent names, the abbreviations may be taken as is and used as the hybrid name.

I have done abbrev myself, when in a rush, but I make sure it is clear when it goes into the lab records.

This might be a little bit of preaching, but buying an unlabeled plant from a big box store that doesn't deal with plant names and from suppliers who don't have plant names from the producers ... then trying not just to reconstruct a name, but to give a name based on flower appearance alone is not a real good practice ... many flowers look alike even for those of us who see so many over so many years and are very familiar with the species and hybrids. Especially when no one knows who made the hybrid and their breeding tendencies. Sometimes people stick on the names, then someone uses it for hybridizing and all kinds of confusion arises later and the name registration system becomes meaningless.

Hey Cat,
Are either of those Dendrobiums scented? If so, you may be a Genius.
