Looking for ID for a mini phal-type dendrobium
Hello everyone,
I'm back again with another ID question. This time it's for a miniature phalaenopsis-type Dendrobium, at least that's what I think it is. I believed for a long time that it was a cattleya, right up until it bloomed for me. I have another phal-type Dendrobium I believe to be Den. bigibbum. It's significantly larger than this little NoID, but the blooms are strikingly similar.
The largest pseudobulb on this NoID is 3.5", the spike is short with 6 creamy white blooms. I'm guessing that this NoID is a young plant, and this is probably only the second time it's bloomed. The last clue I have is that this NoID appears to be deciduous. I thought phal-types were evergreen, but I could certainly be wrong.
Basically I'm looking for clues to its species or grex name. I'm hoping a seasoned orchid vet here would be able to easily ID this little one. Any clues would help, thanks.
