Cant see the flower clearly, but obviously a Dendrobium.

Thanks Pankaj Ji.

Some of the flowers were not at close range.

Regards,

It is not easy to say because there is no Dendrobium in America and this is at a garden.

If I have to guess I would say: Dendrobium apertum

Gurcharan Ji, Pankaj Ji,

I seem to have missed replying earlier.

Pankaj Ji, thanks for the suggested id.

Can we check with Dendrobium mohlianum?

Just a suggested id.

Thanks and regards,

Aarti

For sure it is not Dendrobium apertum, it was just a guess.

For Dendrobiums I need to get an idea about the size to come to something conclusive

I can agree that your flowers looks close to Dendrobium mohlianum, the colour of the flower, sheathed stem, incurved margin of the labellum match well.

Well done!!

Thanks a lot Pankaj Ji.

It was a guess work for both of us as we had no clue.

Glad I could find it.

It was difficult to go near each plant and also spend more time at the Conservatory.
