Meaning of BLC and EID
Hello, I have owned orchids for 5 days. Some of my orchids are marked BLC some EID. What do these initials mean and what are the implications for plant care?
Happy growing
Chris

attleya = Brassavola x Laelia x Cattleya (it is an intergeneric hybrid)
I've never seen the abbreviation Eid. Are you sure it isn't

?
Epi = Epidendrum

I've not seen EDI either, like Philip I would guess it's meant to be Epi.
