| It is a "Cattleya" hybrid and it will be almost impossible to find the name. |

| Not a Dendrobium. As Arthur says, probably a Cattleya hybrid. Where did you get the "hard cane" idea? - Ian. |

| Ok, I'm not an orchid professor, so I may be wrong on the type, I do have 12 or so Blc. Mount Hood 'Mary'. I can drop a picture of the entire plant in my next post, but compared to my other Catts, this plant has log, thin p-bulbs that reach 24" - 36" in height with two leaves at the top. The leaves look much rounder and thicker than my Catts. Picture to follow.. |

| One of the orchids used in the breeding of "cattleya" hybrids is Cattleya bowringiana. It has the plant form you describe. I have "cattleya" in quotes because some hybrids look like a Cattleya but have no Have a look at the thumb nails. Plant form of those hybrids is just as varied as the flowers. |
