Hi I am a newbie in the orchid game and was just donated a collection
of 69 not so healthy orchids. My problem is this... .... while seem to have been able to find out most of the information about my orchids, they are all labled accept 10, some of the orchid labels make absolutly no sense to me. I have got the justs of how to recognise a dendrobium to a cattleya and so on, but these few make no sense. I was wondering if there was any one out there willing to let me email the list to them privately and together we could attempt to make heads or tails of it. I would appreciate as much respons as possible to this and look forward to future chats with this group. If any one on this list is from Durban/ Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, PLEASE contact me as I might have a small business oppertunity for you. Thanks Ivor |

Thanks Ivor Hello Ivor, What a surprise to see Durbs & Pmb! We lived in Durban back in the 60's. Would love to try & help with the names so the easiest way, is to subscribe to alt.binaries.pictures.orchids then you could post a few at a time. Also if you take a closeup of the tag you will be amazed at what you can decipher. Stick around as this is a great group, very helpful. Cheers Wendy (In S.California) |

Post the list here. You get a lot more exposure and possibility of a
correct answer. Of course, you're opening yourself up to wrong answers, too, but that's life! -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..

Ok you guys asked for this :) The following are 37 orcgids that I have
no clue what the flower looks like and some of them I can't tell what family of orchid it is. for example - #28 - Does the 'p' in P. golden buddha stand for Phalaenopsis? And the Raspberry Delight what family is that? 1. Phal. Eva Louw x Phal. Coala/ Kaala? 2. Den. Thonglors Delight 3. Den. Paula Ewalt 4. Stelis Vulcanic/ Volcanic? 5. BLC. Susan Pereira 6. Den. Kultana Toshiko Blue 7. Morgenrose x Abendrot 8. Phal. Carmela's Gem x Self (Candy Stripe) 9. Cym. Strathaven 'Brighton' 10. Cym. Nonna Golden Glades 11. Den. Mary Neal x D. Valley King 12. Den. Ceaser's Candy 13. BLC. Louise Panntel x (BLC. Gontrode x L. Purpurata) 14. LC. Shellie Compton x LC. Dorothy Warne 15. C. Bowringiana x Sckomburgkia iundulata 16. Wrangel Mountain 17. LC. Fade/ Eade? (Purple) 18. BLC. Madge Fordyce 'Red Orb' 19. (Phal. Sampson x Phal. Lipperose) x Flor De Niebla 20. [Phal. Schneuwitien x Phal. Valledor x (Phal. Opaline x Phal. Albatros)] 21. Phal. Aubrae x Phal. Topaz 22. Phal. Abendrot 'Celia' 23. BLC. mem. Robert Hack 'bright eye' 24. P. Cher Monique (Parisienne) x P. Dixie Well (Southland) 25. Phal. First Choice x Noyenna 26. Dtps. Brother Julius x Phal. Zuma Pixie 27. P. Golden Buddha x P. Gigantea 'Alan Queen' 28. (P. Golden Buddha x Raspberry Delight) x P. Lippeglut 29. P. Firelight x P. Golden Buddha 30. P. Ramond Levy x P. Andernach #1 31. P. Abendrot Me/Stem 'Jackwitter' x P. Noontide 32. C. Saphire Sparkling Waters x C. Persian Blue 33. Pot. Susie's Glow 'Crimson Magic' 34. Phal. Joyce Fell (p. Malibu Jubilation x P. Fifi) 35. P. Ramond Levy x P. Andernach #2 36. Phal. Barbara Moler x self 37. Den. Densiflorum #1 I hope I never have to write that again :) Anyway, what I am really asking for is which 'family' does each one come from, so that I know weather it is a Cymbidium, Dendrobium, Cattleya and so on. So that I can grow it correctly. I have been so far repotting according to the plants structure but I am starting to get nervous, as I don't want to kill them. Any information that any body has would be greatly appreciated. If any one has a picture of the flower that would be great. Thanks Ivor |

Ivor, for starters, here is a URL for abbreviations. Not sure how authentic
it is, but I have used it. http://www.notsogreenthumb.org/orchi.../genera1.htm#A I think the names that start with a P. in your list are Phalaenopsis. Usually P. = Paphiopedalum These two are easy to differentiate. Hope this helps & will copy your list to edit.

Hi,
Noticed a couple of labelling errors...also, some of the crosses have official grexes. 1. It's Phal Eva Lou. Coala doesn't exist as far as I know. 7. Phal. Morgenrose X Phal. Abendrot = Phal. Mark Rathbone [1995] 19. It should be Phal ((Samson X Lipprose) X Flor de Niebla) = Phal. Dame Phyllis Fallows [1995], not Phal. Sampson. 20. Phal ((Schneewittchen X Valledor) X (Opaline X Albatross)) = Phal. (Glen Paris X Michel Paris) = Phal. Memoria Denis Chiazzari [1985]. Not Phal. Schneuwitien. 21. Should be Phal. Aubrac 26. It's Phal Zuma's Pixie 27. It's Phal. gigantea 'Alan Queen' as it is a species epithet. As well, Phal. (gigantea X Golden Buddha) = Phal. Hualien Spotlight [1987] 28. It's Doritaenopsis Raspberry Delight, not Phalaenopsis. Cheers, Xi |

WOW!!!
Thanks for the replies! I really wasn't expecting such a result, the other people I wrote to weeks ago still haven't replied. Do any of you own an Orchid House that is displayed to the public? I need some ideas, I won't copy your ideas, but I'll just use them as guidelines. Thanks Ivor |
