Unknown Cultivar
Hi group,
Several months ago, I bought a Dtps. King Shiang's Rose from a nursery, and it was supposed to have been awarded a HCC. However, on the label, there is no cultivar name. I asked the nursery, and they told me they would try to trace it (they got it from Taiwan). I'm curious, can a plant be awarded and not have a cultivar name? TIA Cheers, Xi |

No. As the award is given to the particular plant, there has to be a way of
discerning it from others of the same species or hybrid, hence the requirement for the cultivar name. I have seen such non-cultivar-specific award designations on listings of parents of hybrids - still not a good idea, but intended to show that this particular cross was made from awarded parents, not WHICH SPECIFIC awarded parents, e.g., Phal. Oh Wow (Phal Verygood HCC x Phal Pretty Damned Good AM) -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..

This isn't gospel, but 'Kuo' received an HCC/78 in Taiwan in 1996
The only other award that's in my Wildcatt was owned by Norman's Orchids and awarded here in teh States. Norman's was 'White Edge' 77/HCC also in 96. Here's the award description for 'White edge': Eight flowers and four buds evenly spaced on one branched, arched inflorescence; sepals and petals full, deep pinkish purple, veined dark rose; petals strikingly margined white; lip deep, matte orange-purple distally, shading to rose proximally andon side lobes; columr rose, anther cap white. And here's the description for 'Kuo': Forty-five flowers on two inflorescences; flower form round and full, somewhat cupped; sepals and petals deep rose with darker venation; lip maroon. I have no idea if this helps you or not. K Barrett "Xi Wang" wrote in message news:fNTZc.307335$gE.81948@pd7tw3no... Hi group, Several months ago, I bought a Dtps.

Thanks for your reply. I phoned up a nursery and they gave me the same
info from Wildcatt. If they can trace it and tell me what the HCC pointage was, then I can probably deduce from that the cultivar. However, my concern is that Wildcatt may be incomplete. Are all awarded plants registred with some central body like the RHS?? Or can a plant receive an award which goes unregistered officially?

AOS awards are registered with the AOS. The RHS wouldn't keep track of
them, and vice versa. Since you state it was an AOS award on a Taiwanese plant then its gotta be in teh AOS database somehwere. Wildcatt is incomplete only in terms of awards granted very recently, like in the past 1 1/2 - 2 yrs. There's lag time built into the system. Recent paperwork has yet to make it from the AOS to the exhibitor and then back to the AOS for processing and dissemination to the individual judging centers. (Exhibitors have 6 months from the time the AOS gives them their paperwork to fill out and pay the fee) Therefore, taking what Wildcatt says and adding to that info from my AQs 2001, 2002, 2003, and to date in 2004 Dtps. King Shiang's Rose hasn't had any more awards printed in the AQ. It doesn't appear to have been awarded by the AOS since its last go around in 1996. So we are back to square one, waiting to see if the vendor can confirm or deny which clone your's is. K Barrett "Xi Wang" wrote in message news:Ej2_c.310399$J06.80618@pd7tw2no...

Hi,
Thanks for your help, I very much appreciate it. 'Kuo' and 'White Ridge' are the only HCC/AOS awarded Dtps. King Shiang's Rose plants on record, and I do have the official descriptions of both flowers, so maybe when mine flowers I will be able to say with some confidence what cultivar it is. I'm betting it was Kuo was the nursery said they got it from Taiwan. PS. Pardon my ignorance, but what does AQ stand for when you say AQs 2001...etc?

AQ = Award of Quality. I believe it is given when at least ten (a dozen?)
of a new cross all display an improvement over similar hybrids. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..
