Dtps. Little Gem Stripe??
The orchid nursery has, from a photo, told me that this plant is Dtps. Little Gem Stripe, but when I google plants by this name they all come up as shades of pink, no yellow. I'm wondering whether the name is correct. Can anyone give me an idea? Thanks for your help.

Your plant is definitely NOT P Little Gem Stripes. I don't know why anyone would say something so silly. Nothing in the ancestry of Little Gem Stripes would produce a flower like this.

Thank you, Carl. I'll keep bugging the nursery to come up with another name!

And if not mislabeled, tags transposed..... happens all the time.... someone wants to get a good look at the tag and in those few moments has a brain cramp and puts the tag into the wrong pot! Whatever it is, it is very beautiful so the name doesn't really matter... does it????

Shirley, The unfortunate thing is if you insist that they come up with another name, they probably will.
This wasn't a case of mislabeling or transposed tags. They gave their identification based on looking at a photo. That's why in this case it is wrong to 'soften' criticism of this nursery. They didn't make an honest mistake. They deliberately misled Shirley.

Well, after all that, the nursery did apologize and come up with another name and the pictures seem to be the same as my plant. So all's well that ends well! Thanks for your comments. The correct name is Dtps. I Hsin Spot Leopard-2 'Lee 62.'

I have a similar one...but its labeled as P Sogo Lawrence...
I should mention, this flower is from a trusted source (at least in my book) of Hausermann's Orchids out of Illinois here in the States. The flower, in person, visually POPS especially in descent natural light.
