i have cleaned it as much as i can and i cannot make a real plant out of this - maybe one of you knows some of these words and can help me figure this out

thanks!

vanda thananchai sanderiana X "trying to figure the rest out"

other part looks like vanda kultana gold

and last part looks like vanda rasri gold

it seems the second part is "XXXXXXXXX = Vanda Rasri Gold" so I'm guessing V. Rasri Gold is synonymous??

wait nevermind. One part says Vanda Kultana Gold, which is Vanda Pong Tong x Vanda Rasri Gold, and then the next part has two marks that looks like an = sign and then V. Rasri Gold. hmmm

V. Rasri Gold is V. Kultana Gold x V. Thananchaisand
and V. Thananchaisand = V.Thananchai x V. sanderiana

So long story short, V. Rasri Gold with its pedigree

(Orchidwiz strikes again...)

I LOVE the challenge of sussing out an ID from a semi-legible tag. OW is such a powerful tool!

Yes, long story short is V. Rasri Gold.

talk about a testimony in favor of a number 2 pencil.....that tag is 30 years old!

well, i had hoped that this spike might get me closer to the owner of this tag but it is a miss.


I still have like six tags i also found at that collapsed shade house that might ID this spike but i am no closer to discovering Rasri's gold


this one is really beautiful regardless

Send the above photo to Motes - they might have some idea. They breed this kind of Vanda.

Martin Motes might also recognize the handwriting on that tag.

And the word SP circled in red is probably HOLD - meaning either somebody really wanted to keep that plant, or it was on hold for a customer.
