Legit names?

[Tropicgirl]

I finally wrote down all the names on my orchid tags! I am still fairly new to this aspect of orchid culture so if any of these names aren't really real PLEASE, PLEASE tell me. There are a few I don't trust due to the origin of the plant but I can still hope!


Den. Norma Jackson 'Firecracker'
Den. Sunlight
Den. Copper-Q-DR. Poat-NR ?
Den. MC ?
Den. Cana ?
Epc. (Gay Rabbit 'Lone Star' x Encycl. cordigiera 'Natchez') ?
Epi. Star Valley x Joseph LII
Bl Morning Glory
B. Little Stars (Nodosa x Cordata)
Catt. Jamaica Souvenir x Lc. Mildred Rives
Catt. Tokyo Magic '6-1' x Pot Burana Beauty
Catt. Mildred Rives 'Orchidglade'
Paph. Mele Moon (Mele Pops 'Golden Sunrise' x Moving Lights 'Yellow Dream')
Paph. Hsinying Citron '#9' x paph. lawanceanum 'Green Apple'
Williamcookara Bill (Ctna. Maui x Dial. Snowflake)
Phal. DTPS Minho Princess 'Flying'
Vanilla planifolia

And I will be giving these guys there own "names" soon! I think I will name the Phals. Larry, Moe and Curly!

At a quick glance, I recognize about half. I will try to get back to you today wih what I find. Here is a link to the RHS International Orchid Register.

Thank you! I've identified a few and put question marks after the ones I can't find at the orchid register.

Of the ones that still had checks I was able to find the folowing and made them bold if there was a name change due to genera realignment:

Lc. Jamaica Souvenir x Lc. Mildred Rives is now Cattleya Jamaica Souvenir x Cattleya Mildred Rives

Lc. Tokyo Magic '6-1' x Pot Burana Beauty is now Cattleya Tokyo Magic '6-1' x Rhyncattleanthe Burana Beauty

Paph. Hsinying Citron '#9' x paph. lawanceanum 'Green Apple' is correct

Cookara Bill is now Williamcookara Bill

Phal. DTPS Minho Princess 'Flying' is still Doritaenopsis Minho Princess 'Flying'

The new Cattleya names are not used by everyone - many dealers are still using the names you have on the tags. I find the new names endlessly confusing - everything is now Cattleya.

Your Dendrobium cana might be Dendrobium CK-AI-CANA
Strange name but I have two of them with this same name.

As the Vanilla is a species, not a hybrid, it should be with a lower case p in planifolia.

Thank you all for such quick responses! I am thrilled that most of them are registered, there are really more than I expected!
This is all so new to me and you have all been so helpful.
Ron-"Endlessly confusing" just about sums it up for me! I'm learning so much here!
Ted-you're awesome!
Beverly-I will compare flowers once my Den. cana blooms, hopefully it's the CK-AI-CANA!
Thank you all again so much!

Orkie, thanks for correcting me on the Vanilla. I'm still learning all the details about classifications like what should be in italics, lower case vs. upper case and so on. It's all so confusing but I'm getting there-ever so slowly! Thanks again!
