The similarity is outstanding! I think I would like to grow this plant.
Over the last 2 years I have seen many forum members (here and at other discussion boards) post pictures of hybrids in flower that they have no name, name tag or parentage information for. While they are beautiful to look at and speculating on their parentage could provide some insight into their cultural success, they are unfortunately orphans of the hybridizing world.
It is a NOID and should be labeled as such, if labeled at all. To give them a name incorrectly suggests accuracy in the knowledge of their ancestry.
Most likely these hybrid imposter's will be discredited by the judging bodies. Unfortunately the potential exists for erroneous awards and the possible integration into further hybrid breeding.
The Royal Horticultural Society oversees the registration of orchid hybrids and it is amazing that a hybrid's ancestry can be traced back to the original species and grower that created it. We are all responsible to support the accuracy of this registration system.
Please DO continue to share your pics and entertain us with your speculations, understanding that they are simply that - speculations!
