As allready mentioned in another topic I aquired 4 NOID Phrags for a very reasonable price last weekend. Normally I don't like spending money on NOID's but they were so cheap I couldn't resist.
I picked them from a tablet and I searched for plants that had spikes / spikes forming and with a different overal structure. So I hope that I've picked four different species / hybrids.
Phrag 1:
This plant has a very strong red coloration at the base of the new growths. There is one sheath sitting in one of the growths.
Phrag 2:
Again a big plant with a massive root system. Like the last one I felt I overpotted but in another topic I was reassured that I shouldn't worry about overpotting when the roots wont fit a smaller pot.
Phrag 3:
This one had the smallest root system of the ones that I bought and I was actually happy that it fitted a 12cm pot quite nicely. It also has a sheath forming.
Phrag 4:
This one wasn't the best looking plant on the tablet but it had the biggest spike of them all. I don't wanted to add extra stress so I chose not to repot it. The big old growth that is hanging limp will be removed when I repot it. The Bud has two distinct colours one half is green, and the other half is a reddish brown. Plant form and size is quite different compared to the other ones.
And last but not least a Dendrobium speciosum, the plant is quite small for this species and I'm planning on finding out which var. it is. It has one inflorescence forming and it's allready growing in two directions. So I expect it to form two new bulbs next growth season.

Did you buy the Dendrobium speciosum at a nursery?
