Thumbs up Secret Surprise

Well surprise, surprise! When I went to re-pot into s/h last night, there was a scrap tag at the bottom of the pot kind of shoved up into the roots. It was really faded but with a magnifying glass and a black light, I was able to make out a partial name.

Phal Ever S...n. Princ with some numbers at the very top end.

I did some detective work on RHS and google and I am fairly certain the correct tag name is Dtps Ever Spring Prince.

I never believed there would be a tag on it so I drove back out to Lowe's because there was one other in the orchid section (same Phal) which was not on the Sale Death Table. I poked around in the pot and it had a tag too!

Can I do a little dance now?

I'm such a lucky duck! This NEVER happens to me.

Cool one. It does look like Ever Spring Prince and what with the partial tag I think you can be pretty sure.

Doritis has been reclasified as Phal, so all Doritenopsis orchids are now Phals although as with all reclasifications many people still use Doritenopsis.

I know but at least it explains why your tag said Phal, but your research has come up with Dtps, whoever wrote the tag used the newer name
