Dendrobium kingianum Vs. Berry Oda – The importance of correct Orchid ID’s
Today we take a look at my very old Dendrobium kingianum finally in bloom, in comparison to one of his hybrids, the Berry Oda.
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
Dendrobium kingianum is a species native to Australia and has a bad reputation of being tricky to bloom, at least spectacularly. More info about it here http://www.aos.org/orchids/collectors-items/dendrobium-kingianum.aspx
The Dendrobium Berry var. Oda is a new popular hybrid on the market that is easy to grow, bloom and just live with. It looks very similar to the kingianum, since it is a direct hybrid, it smells the same, it can even have the same color.. but it’s just not a kingianum.
For us average home growers it doesn’t matter, but for competition or hybridizing purposes it DOES! there is a bad confusion on the market with these 2 orchids, so here are the side by side, real time, differences. Pretty obvious now right?
