Dendrobium platycaulon var. Alba, Philippine Orchid Species

[PhilsDC]

In bloom at this time...

The p-bulb on this orchid si so unique. How cool. I like the blooms with the deep green in the lip. I guess as they age the flower turns more to a cream or yellow?

This is the original form of this species.

I loved them because it has a sweet fragrance and it is one of my favorite unique specimens.

Not only did i love the blooms on this one... i love the plant in general.... got to have one of these.

nice, but i dont really see the alba form, just pale in colors.

[PhilsDC]

I have the original form of this plant and it is in pure green form.

I was thinking that it could another species but we'd like to hear from Jim Cootes and other specialists if this a candidate species, varieties or not.

Your plant looks like a perfectly good Dendrobium platycaulon to me.

Thanks Jim.

I always wanted this plant but I only have the alba and I don't have the yellow midlobed variety which is lovely.
