Hi K....
Yes, you sent me a Dorothy Wisnom 'Golden Gate'

You also sent a Stephan Isler

Sadly, both of those plants have acquired a disease and I should, and
soon will, throw them away. I saw the disease first on an old Onc. Gower
Ramsey. then it showed up in a Colmanara Wildcat. Then it started in the
2 from you. It starts as yellow streaks and translucent spots in the
leaves. The plants go into decline leading to several small weak growths.
I know how to avoid spreading virus so I was hoping it was a fungus that
could be cured. Unlike the story about my Odontoglossums, fungicides are
not helping a bit. There's a lot about this story that reminds me of the
Phal disease that spread through all my Phals.

Steve, what was the name of the odont I gave you a few years ago (that you
bloom better than I ever did?) Was Dorothy Wisnom, or something like that?
I have a 'lost tag' orchid in spike and I want to see if its the same one.
Yellow, star shaped, flat, nice. Your conditions are better than mine ever
were....
