Cattleya Golf Green 'Hairy Pig'

[pheli]

The cross was registered by a nursery in Taiwan. Because the digdyana sounds like our Taiwanese for pig, the clone got the name Hairy Pig. There are several clones that available here.

Thanks for the explanation Pheli. Now I can understand why they gave that name to the flower.

there are a couple of Taiwan-originated crosses in which the name is lost in translation - some examples

Form web search, i found that Yaphon was a name for an orchid nursery. I did not know why they were named. But here, some of these namings were indeed funny and represented for nothing.
