The flower close up. The pink streaks on the petals and sepals are caused by
a reflection.

Kathy, you were instrumental in goading me into buying this a number of
years ago; you even found a link. (Right, like I needed to be goaded!) Know
anything about registration? It's not on OrchidWiz, as far as I can find.

I still have great taste. *G*! Nope I don't see it there or in the RHS
either. Muriel Loo is something called C White Christmas crossed onto C
bicolor, so this has '2 shots' of bicolor.... Looking at teh parentage of
White Christmas it has all teh floofy catts in its background, gaskelliana ,
warneri, etdc. I see very little if any of these in this progeny. Same
with my C Patroncinii. I see no labiata in its make up. Only the
bicolor....so I assume the bicolor is dominant, LOL!

Agreed. And yes, you have great taste! But here's the perennial question.

What if this flower were to be chosen for an award (and I'm not suggesting
that it would be). It's not registered. I do know where I purchased it, but
that might not be of any help.

What would happen? What would I do to register it?

Yeah, I know. We've talked *around* this many times. But I don't know the
answer, really.

Nice photos, Di. I was given a piece a few years ago, and it's getting ready
to bloom any week now.

You get to register it. You should make a decent effort to find the person
who made the hybrid and ask their permission to name the orchid. They may
have a name already selected. Like this happened to Martin Motes on one of
his purple tessellata crosses. Someone named Memoria Louis Hatos for a
plant Motes wanted to name for his daughter (IIRC) but Motes couldn't
becasue unbeknownst to him Hatos had 'just gone ahead' and registered it.
Motes learned of this when he got 2 awards on his cross, so I recall one got
a clonal of Ha Ha Hatos. I can't recall the other, but it was similar.

Your award would be provisional untill you register the cross. Then it gets
published in the AQ.

You want a GREAT speaker on hybridizing sometime get Ron McHatton from
AOS to come speak. He just did a talk here called "Can you get there
from here?" Or some such on Color Inheritance patterns. Fascinating.
