ID this dendrobium? and update on Dendrobium keikis

[michellebrown500]

So, someone suggested wrapping the roots of the keikis with sphagnum moss, on my dendrobium that had really bad roots; I did that to help them grow but also, because I was afraid the roots on the mother plant might not be able to hydrate the plant too well. Anyway, seems to be working, the keikis seem happy, and one little guy bloomed for me, so I was wondering if anyone recognized the variety?? I know it might just be generic...but I think it's quite pretty, anyway it gets my respect for hanging in there and really putting out the effort!! t

Besides being a nobile type there is really no way to positively ID it without DNA testing. Have to say though that it does look a lot like the species nobile. As long as your keiki have good roots you could take them off the mother and pot them up. You might want to give the plant more light. Less keiki in brighter light.
