Apparently this Den. suzukii is a natural hybrid. The RHS lists Peng Seng as the offspring of cruentum x tobaense. The RHS also lists suzukii as a grex (natural hybrid) name, but without any parents. I assume they are waiting for further information. Iris Then why don't they look alike? Al

I was interested to read all the comments about the genus Altensteinia. After the 6th World Orchid Conference in Sydney I had the pleasure of being shown orchids in their natural habitat by the late Stalky Dunsterville and his wife. On this trip they showed me Altensteinia paludosa and whilst they
