will do . The flower of this plant is very fragrant , the scent was there even at the moment the petals were just slightly part, the scent also there morning and night , I detected it even as late as 2:00 AM , my other hangianums only have any scent after open fully and only in the morning to...

Leslie, Today - the dorsal is at 5.5 cm (I think the dorsal now stop growing) - the sepals is at 6.5 cm (it may still growing some more like you said) - for some reason the flower is still very droopy , i have to tilt the pot and take the picture from below to have a better view of the flower ...

Tony , you are right, it still increases

wow, the petal's width is almost the same as the length, beautiful flower

I want to change to mounting all of my dendrobiums (instead of in pots) so I can clean them . With mounting, I can turn the dendrobiums upside down and wash the underside of their leaves . I have seen the plaques before but not much about the sources. they are about 3" by 7" Does any one know...

15 cm and a full shape likes Mammoth is excellent, because many of the large dimension hangianum flowers tend to be elongated & floppy just as you mentioned .

Tony , do you think flowers still expand more after opening ? The reason I wonder about the final flower size after opening, is that it already seems to reach the maximum size of its budding stage (for you can see it starts to open) I check the description of this species, many websites mention...

The one in bud right now is not from Hung Sheng breeding, I think it will be just an average looking flower , I measure the bud, it is 5 cm right now, so once open , it will be about 10 cm (unless you tell me that the flower could still extent after opens)

I don't know the cross of the one in bud right now, I was hoping for an album when the bud was small, but when the bud grows bigger, it starts to show some red at the bud base , but not enough red either , so there you are, neither wishing alba nor rubra . furthermore, looking at the shape of...

I think it shows a "possible terminal flower leaf in the middle" but no bud yet. we can only rely on the advertising photos from Norman orchids,however in my opinion, those photos look random , perhaps not representing the cross...

I am not sure , but a long time ago I bought 4 or 5 plants of this cross , 2 from Norman orchids, the other 3 from other sellers, all their tags said : hangianum 'Bear#1' x 'Bear Giant' . I killed all of them , except this lone one survived (I think I was able to save this one plant , because...

I put them side by side so you can see how different they are. one has elongate and narrow leaves the other has chubby , almost double leaves' width . Does anyone know whether the shape of the leaves indicate the plant's flower shape or not?

for the South Vietnamese who were refugees back in 1975 , no matter who they became , Americans, Canadians, Australians or other countries' citizens , they still hold deep sorrows in their hearts . Back then , North Vietnam used the same pretext of liberate the South (same pretext as Russia...

thanks for the explanation Leslie

That is a big flower , I think it is at 13 cm compares to the ruler ( not 12 cm that you mentioned) I always wonder in the case of many orchid species , the flowers are not 100% flat , some even with strange shape, how do the judges measure the flowers? Do they flatten the petals to get the true...

stunning .

I found the article on researchgate.net (by AOS magazine) for vietnamensis ,but I haven't be able to locate a description of puchella .

if you google renanthera vietnamesis or puchella for images separately , they seem to show the same kind of flowers.

That is quite a helenae collection you have there , I am impressed . When someone concentrates on just one species , he/she can breed for superior plants just from his/her own collection. I assume you already read the old post regarding dedicatum in slippertalk 14 years ago...

I could not tell the difference between renanthera Vietnamensis and renanthera puchella , could someone point out to me the key differences to tell them apart? http://www.orchidspecies.com/renvietnamensis.htm http://www.orchidspecies.com/renpulchella.htm
