Plant species identification : Follow-Up - Orchid Board

Depau · #1 01-26-2009, 06:23 PM

Not long ago I asked if anyone was familiar with a (Phalaenopsis - Doritas- Doritaenopsis) Ran Ran Rubi and received an answer. My follow-up is ... there is a number associated with the name and I am wondering if this number is a registering number or a breeder's cross number? There is a digital 'F' on the tag ass well.

Now I have purchased another and the species is missing, again,

500530 Ran Ran Rubi 9/26/2007
252000 Greenstar Ye low (floricultura) 11/06/07

Any help is appreciated,
Depau

Greenstar Ye Low is the grex. It is a hybrid, just like Ran Ruby. The code is probably just for the grower.

What I'm trying to find out if they are Phalaenopsis, Doritas or Doritaenopsis.
Thanks,

And I should have written Genera.

Phals and Doritis are all considered phals now. Grow it like a phal.

Niether come up on the RHS plant finder : Royal Horticultural Society - Plants: The International Orchid Register

I tried Ran Ran Rubi, Greenstar Ye low, and Greenstar Yellow. Nothing came up - they're not yet registered.
