Wow...

This is confusing.

Do you have a link?

SORRY I HAVE NO LINK. I KNOW ITS CONFUSING ALL THE TAG READ WAS A. AJI ORCHID
I WAS AT A NURSERY WHEN I SEEN THIS AND NO ONE NEW WHAT KIND IT WAS.

Maybe it's an Aerangis.

Other than that I have no idea.

I have and orchid that I do not know how to care for. The tag reads Lc. Llory Ann Red Wings'(Lc Mamoria Robert Strait x Jungle Flare)Red Wings'I am not familiar with the Lc. what type of orchid does Lc denote. I have had it and another of the same type for over a year, they are not doing well and I need some help.

LC I believe denotes Laeliocattleya

the only thing I can find refering to aji orchid Is in refrence to a chile pepper by this name ...LOL did they have any plants at this nursery besides Orchids?
It is just possible some one found a loose tag and not knowing where it belonged popped it in the orchids pot.....I used to manage a nursery and people would put tags they found into the nearest pot LOL.

I remember seeing something here on OB about genus which was just two letters starting with an 'a'. Something like Aj or something.

Could it be that, and anyone know what one I might be thinking of.

John - I found that reference too... a Peruvian chili pepper! A tag mix-up sounds quite possible!
