It appears that one of my plants of Dendrobium
brymerianum may be the variety histrionicum. The buds did not open at all but
self pollinated . My initial reading indicates that this is a habit of this
variety, that it happens occasionally and may be dependent on growing
conditions.
Does anyone have experience with this variety? Is
it possible that this plant may flower at some stage or is it destined to be a
non-flowering clone? I had the plant in my glasshouse for a few months prior to
the "non-flowering" so it may have got too hot - temperatures get to mid-high
30s Celsius in that time.
I have pods on the plant , is it going to be worth
harvesting the seed? I wouldn't want to trade it with friends if its only going
to produce more self pollinating clones.
If you prefer to contact me off OGD my address is
