Help! Need IDs for these Phal's - Orchid Board

PhalinVA · #1 01-08-2011, 11:56 PM

I rescued these Phal's from grocery store. Can you help me ID these? One is white petal with dark pink lip and the other has light greenish yellow petal with dark pink (almost red) strips. Pictures are attached.

These are we all call Noids (= No ID). It is simply impossible to identify them when there are thousands of hybrids and endless variation within each hybrid cross. Just enjoy them for their beauty. We all have a few plants without names.

Really like the second one, it's funny but the NOids are usually the prettiest ones. Enjoy!

I needed names for name tags so that I know which ones are which when they are not in bloom. Searched web for a while and found similar ones with IDs: Champion Girl and Brother Girl. I think they are close enough.

I'd hesitate to assign a "real" name to them. I'd just mark them NOID white, and NOID striped.

I like to find names of similar ones to use on the tag and help me remember which is which... however I will always mark the tag to state it's actually a NoID and always make sure that is clear if I post pictures on-line. While names for your own use are great, I think it's important to avoid telling others it's got a particular name unless 100% sure.
