A dear friend sent me some plants today. Three of the tags came out of the
pots in shipping, and I was wondering if anyone had these so I can match tag with plant. Or even if anyone has just the plain green one, so I can stick the right tag in it, the other two are mottled leaf. Paph. Chamberlanium v. flavescens (x self) Paph. (Mem. Hellen Colbert -Jeanette AM/AOS x callosum "Seattle Symphony Orchestra") Paph. jolly roger "Ruby Ring X joanne's wine "Glassful") Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have a picture of any of these, would you be kind enough to post it to ABPO? -- Hugs, Molli |

And to add to what Sue wrote, your P. chamberlainianum is the one
without the mottled leaves. Don't ever cut the inflorescence on this on, it is a sequential bloomer. If the spike is still green, there is still hope. Might want to make a note of that on the tag. Given the crosses, I'm not sure most people could reliably tell the difference between the two others, even in flower. I might (emphasis on might) be able to, but only if I knew which parents I was picking from (and only because I've seen a whole lot of each). This is why it is critical to keep the tags with the plants, even if you only have a few. I'm sure you know that. So don't throw those labels away. You might want to make two tags for each plant. When they bloom, take a picture and post it somewhere with the tag information. Chances are good that you would be able to throw one of those tags away after that. Just as a tip to the novice shipper... A piece of masking tape connecting the tag to the pot is a great way to keep this kind of thing from happening. I've occasionally used a stapler to fasten tag to pot (the thin plastic pots, of course). Thin plastic labels work better than the more rigid ones, which tend to snap during shipping. The rigid ones also seem to get brittle with age. I've had to put a few together like puzzles, and those are the ones that break while I'm paying attention. Lose a few pieces and you are in trouble.

Thanks to all of you who helped me out! I think I've got the right tags with
the right plants now. -- Sue emailed me with what one of the mottled should look like, and only one fit.so that third tag must go to the other pot huh? If not, what's another noid or two as long as they don't croak on me! Hugs, Molli "Rob Halgren" wrote in message ...
