Default Those baby catts from HD

The pots of baby catts from HD are thriving. I also noticed several of the
pots seemed to have a tangle of catts, not just one. I carefully pried one
pot-full apart last night and ended up with 6 baby catts. :-) The name is
BLC Greenwich "Elmhurst" /green 6-20-05. Can someone tell me how and or
where to look this orchid up? What does BLC mean and the word "green" with
the date? I assume Greenwich "Elmhurst" is the name of this catt?!?!?!?!

I have another 2 pots to seperate. I think I'm going to end up with a lot of
plants when I'm finished. :-)))


I thought BLC was Brassavola x Laelia x Cattleya - not Brassia?
I would also hazard a guess that 'green 6-20-05' is the date the green
pod was harvested? Or maybe when seed from a green pod was sown?

PS - Finally, the Paph. primulinum is spiking. Waited years for it.
Kept moving it into brighter light. Have also been repotting into
fresh bark about once a year. Still having trouble with a
Dendrochilum glumaceum(?) - just getting it to grow is a challenge.
Lost all the leaves, over time. Kept watering as needed and it
started four new growths. We'll see how long they last.
