When I bought these two orchids .I did not bother to see if they were labeled .I was just looking at the over all cond of the plant .the one on the left is starting to bloom. All that was on it was WU923 IWAGARA .and the one on the right BC MAIKAI .Does any one know there proper names of these two Orchids.Or is that what I call them. The other pic just looked nice.:

Iwagara (which I think is actually Iwanagara) is an intergeneric hybrid made up of parents from the following genera: Brassavola, Cattleya, Diacrium and Laelia. "WU923" probably is the grower's catalog number, but means nothing to us. A well known Iwan. (the abbreviation) is Appleblossom.

Bc Maikai (Brassocattleya Maikai) is a cross between Brassavola nodosa and Cattleya bowringiana. It grows fast and flowers well. Everybody needs at least one Bc Maikai in their collection, so good choice!
