Default Decipher my name tag

That would be Doritaenopsis Sun Chen 'Beauty' x Phalaenopsis Carmela
Pixie. I was unable to find the parentage of either or a registered cross of
these parents on the RHS site. Your blooms should most nearly resemble a
typical Phal. See recent posts re how dilute the Doritis influence has
become in crosses with Phalaenopsis.

I bought an orchid today and should be a Phal. but the tag says:

MAY 0303LFO4B0216
Dpts. Sun Chen Beauty x P. Carmela Pixie

Can someone read all they can from this and then post it - trying to
look up a picture of it, at least the cross parents, thanks ......Burr
