Hi group !

I`ve just bought a beautiful, big Cattleya, with a barely readable tag,
that says something like "Tauqine" or "Tanqine" . It may also be
"Taugine" . Anyone came across a name like that ? Google doesn`t help.
The flower is huge with delicate lavender petals and dark violet-yellow
lip.

thanks in advance
Martha

A look in OrchidWiz doesn't turn up anything close. Sorry! Any other hints?

Martha -
Ray's web site ( www.firstrays.com ) has a series of ideas on how to
make a tag more readable. Have you tried his tricks? Is there more
to the name?

Had another look at the RHS orchid registration register.

Could it possibly be "Sophrolaeliocattleya Tai Gines"?

That is the closest I can find.

Hi !

I am quite sure that it is an old cross and that it has Catt. trianae
somewhere in the background. Maybe BLC Tangerine ? But I can`t find a
photo of it.

thanks
Martha

Sandra, there are a bunch of Cattleya group "Tangerines". How about Blc.
Tangerine, which is roughly 50% trianiae, 25% dowiana, and 12.5% each L.
xanthina and B. digbyana? I can't help with a photo of the cross.

In two generations there are 2,481 hybrids with C trianae.
Bc Trimabilis
Blc Trigula
Blc Trican
Blc Thais
C Trithena
Lc Tritura
Lc Triopas
Lc Triariel
Lc Tribeatrice
Lc Theagenes

I started to float thru them looking for Tau or Tan or Tr or ine or g,
p, q or y in the middle... As you can see it is not fruitful... or
maybe that should be too fruitful.

Why are you so sure it is C trianae in the hybrid? Why since that
meets you floral description could it not be C. trianae?
