Help with Apple Blossom "Woodland"

[Bud]

You said: your plant is Apple Blossom 'Woodland'

the only plant listed in that name is an: Iwanagaara Appleblossom 'Woodland'

you have to be complete and precise on the tag of your plant, if the plant doesnt come with a tag then its a NOID(no identity) and you cant assume or presume to name it because it looks like the bulbs of other orchids...
your second picture can be also be a Miltonia, but if your mother says it has yellow wide lipped flowers then its an oncidium alright...
you cant base the type of orchid by the way you look at them that is assuming...to be sure: get the tag and abide by it...because chances are they are the correct name of the plant.

The tag on the first plant says "Iwan apple blossom woodland HCC/AOS

The second ....we'll just have to call that baby a NOID until it flowers!!! My mom has no idea if she ever had a tag for it!

Thanks for the help members!

actually your plant is Jackfowlieara Appleblossom 'Woodland'
If you're going by the old name, "Iwanagaara" should have 2 "a"s after the g, and Appleblossom is one word.

Ok...was just going by what the tag said.....thanks for the info but to be honest I was really only looking for what type it was Oncidium or Cat...etc

Think I know now and will water and expose to the correct amount of light .....hopefully

Thanks

The leaf color should be kind of a lime green if it is lighter (more yellow) it is getting too much sun. I put mine outside on the South side of my covered porch in May and bring it inside around the end of Sept. I get blooms like clockwork in late Feb to early March. This is a pretty easy care catt, enjoy!

I guess you should update the name of the plant to its modern name as Kip said...YEEEEY now that we know the name of your plant: then you can search its culture.
Too bad the other plant is a noid...but it is a happy healthy plant...good growing!

Bud...

You're right ....I caught the fever from mom...she must have 35 orchids that grow like mad, but if you asked her what any of the names were she would look at you and say, " I don't know but it sure has pretty flowers!"

Thanks for the help

Dont be sad...when I first started with my first two phals...they were noids I picked up on the trash...the first years I collected orchids; I threw away the tags because they were plastic and ugly...LOL It was when one friend asked me the name of a blooming phal and I didnt know...she looked it up for me and gave me a tag to write it on...thats when I learned the importance of the plant's name preserved in a tag...

Ah, that's why I couldn't find it on the RHS register.

Unfortunately they keep renaming these things, so the old name Iwanagaara has been changed to Jackfowlieara, probably because genetic studies have moved one of it's parents to a different genus and that has a ripple down affect to all the hybrids.

Lots of places selling it incorrectly have Appleblossom as two words, but the RHS official register does indeed have it listed as Jackfowlieara Appleblossom.

actually, 4 species in the background of this cross have been moved:
Diacrium bicornutum => Caularthron bicornatum
Brassavola glauca => Rhyncholaelia glauca
Brassavola digbyana => Rhyncholaelia digbyana
Cattleya aurantiaca => Guarianthe aurantiaca

Since all Diacrium species have been moved to Caularthron or Prosthechea, it is no longer possible to register a plant as Iwanagaara.
