Catt in bloom

[flhiker]

Here's my latest bloomer. I could just kick myself, there was a tag with this plant and now I can't find it. I don't remember what it is called. I guess its a noid now. It has a total of 6 buds

Very nice delicate colours Dave. I have a similarly coloured one. Is yours scented?

you could take a photo of each plant you buy with the tag. also keep a text document with a list of what you have.
if you lose one tag u just have to see what is missing...
is it too late?
or cant you remember when/where you bought it?
i kind of love it tho...
do you have any keiki or backbulbs?

It's such a bummer when you loose a tag. Been there myself.

Better to lose a tag than to lose a plant!

You still get blooms... just take photos off all your tags with the plant and keep them all together in the same folder.
I always lose receipts. I take a photo of the important receipts I may need to use for warranty service and I name the file with the item I bought [like Nikon SB600.jpg].

You can take photos of all your plants and rename the file with the name of the plant.

Computers can search the metadata so you can find the name easily...
how many plants do you have?
Anyway you still get blooms!

That is sweet, Dave. I bet someone will nail it down for you. Looks kind of familiar, like Puppy Love or Anne Kiagi..(sp. ?). Someone will know.

Way to go getting 6 blooms. Nice show.

Thanks for the Idea's. I'm going to have to start some kind of a log book. Last count was around 150. I have plants attached to trees as well, hard to keep tags with them.

I bought 2 Tillandsias for 5 dollars -
they had huge tags that looked ugly while hanging down -
took a photo of each plant with the tag and cut the tag off...
you could also write the name with a sharpie on a clay pot or write the name on some masking tape and stick it on the side of the plastic pot...
maybe cover the masking tape with the name with a layer of clear tape so it wont wash out...
better than a tag that sticks out

Its beautiful! Is it fragrant?

I agree with Royal it looks like an Lc. Puppy love hybrid. In the post below I compared two of them Lc. Ann Akagi, which I think it looks like, it is Susanne's photo. Both Lc. Angel Heart and Puppy Love I have ever seen had darker purple in the lips and the lip was not as full and flattened as yours.
