It's all just a guess, as different nurseries use different techniques.

The "04.03/MAI", for example, might be when it was acquired from Much Angst
Industries, that fictitious Taiwanese meganursery, or maybe when it was
deflasked.

In "Dendrobium World Cup No. 5 01-B", the "No. 5 01-B" might be an
unofficial cultivar name, and if properly done, should be Dendrobium World
Cup 'No. 5 01-B'. Considering that there doesn't appear to be a registered
den hybrid with that name, I guess the proper terminology structure isn't
all that important.

When it labeled like P.TimothyChristopher x P...... The first letter is
its Genus correct? P = Phal, D = Dendrobium etc.....? This is the obvious
one, and when you are done laughing

There other markings such as "04.03/MAI"

Or
"Dendrobium World Cup No. 5 01-B...."
Or
" 0609-D70800006 03/20/2006
D. Salaya Candy #770"

What would the 01-B or 04.03/MAI or other markinge be? Are they a
registration? 0609-D70800006 looks like a stock number, but the others do
not.
