You're welcome Bill! Regarding the culture and habit of your Dendrobium, stratiotes, tokai, taurinum, and discolor are all antelope Dendrobiums coming from warmer more tropical regions where they receive intermediate to warm temperatures and year-round rainfall. Den phalaenopsis is (duh) a phalaenopsis-type Dendrobium which the AOS Dendrobium culture sheet (
www.aos.org) focuses on.
Den schulleri is a bit of a phantom. While one of my dendrobium books lists it , the other one doesn't even mention it at all. I found an article online that indicated that since its initial discovery and collection it has not bee re-collected and that the name schulleri (or schuleri as it sometimes appears) had been applied to a number of early yellow antelope hybrids (but I can't confirm this information so i don't know how reliable it is).
Oooooo...a mystery....
