Which Orchid family do I belong to?
 

Got this cute little yellow Orchid from a friend. I was wondering what family it belongs to?

Beautiful! I have a Dendrobium jenkinsii that looks very much like this. Do a google search and see if your plant looks the same.

Maybe a Dendrobium aggregatum, a bigger plant. Both have these gorgeous blooms.

Thanks Patty. Mine is only a baby size one. I did a search for the one you said and another came up that looks even more like it. Could it be a Dendrobium lindleyi?

From what I've read the lindleyi and the aggregatum are the same plant. I could be wrong, I think the jenkinsii is the smaller one.

I've only had mine for a few weeks and it is a good size plant though not tall, the bulbs range from pea size to peanut size, the leaves are under an inch. It has not flowered for me yet.

Here it is in a 4" basket

Den.lindleyi Is correct :)

Thanks Monika and Patty! :)

Monika, I assume you identify this plant by the flower? Is it correct that the jenkinsii has a single flower while the lindleyi has several per inflorescence?

Yes ,the lindleyi has more blooms per inflorescence .
I know that for sure as I have one :)

Thank you Monika
