    Mine is just about to bloom and I would really like to try an out-cross. Anyone blooming this?

    Mine is in bud, hopefully to bloom next week.
    I haven't kept up with the taxonomy on this species, and a visit to the Kew Monocot List is a little confusing. Dendrobium treacherianum is listed as the accepted name, but a click on the "Not Accepted By" tab shows R. Goevaerts (the Kew compiler). Epigeneium is shown as a synonym. Is this just a houskeeping problem at Kew?

    I don't know what the latest is on the taxonomy. I know it used to be a Dendrobium so it is possible that it's been moved back. In any case here is a photo just to make sure we are talking about the same species.

    I posted before I intended to. Would you be interested in trading some pollen for an out-cross? What was the source of your plant? Mine came from Andy's about 2005.
