"...growing orchids for about 7 years". It's all down hill from
here.

Subject: [pleurothallid-l] What is
Dryadella lansbergii/langburgii?
Just got a plant with a tag reading Dryadella langburgii, while
the seller's website lists it as Dryadella lansbergii (http://www.sborchid.com/plantdisplay.php? ocode=DRY00015).
Looks like a Dryadella (it is not Pleurothallis lansbergii). I tried to trace
the name with Jay's and google, to no avail. No flowers on my specimen
yet, so could be a number of things. Leaves look similar to D. zebrina (aka
typical Dryadella). Any idea what this could be for real? Seems to be some
old label switch, but would be nice to know what actual species I
got.
Thanks for the collective wisdom.
As I am new to the list,
let me quickly introduce myself. Been growing orchids for about 7 years,
starting with California native Epipactis gigantea outdoors in SoCal, then
got into terrarium (intermediate temp, various light levels, 80%RH), finished
earlier this year a mini greenhouse (aka greenhut, or walk-in terrarium),
pretty shady. I grow exclusively species, like minis, so lots of
pleurothallids (Pleurothallis, Dryadella, Dreslerella, Myoxanthus, Lepanthes,
Lepanthopsis, Masdevallia, Stelis, Dracula, Platystele, Octomeria,
Restrepia, Scaphosepalum Trichosalpinx), about 200 species overall, maybe
50-60% pleurothallids. I also do photography, from 4x5" large format, to
35 mm digiSLR macro, z-stacking on stereomicroscope, and scanning electron
microscopy. Member of the California Native Plant Soc., Santa Barbara
Orchid Society, San Fernando Valley OS, the SoCal Orchid Species Society, and
just joined the Pleurothallid Alliance.
Best
wishes
Daniel
