First-timer, question on names!
Hello there. c: I'm new to the world of orchid ownership, but I'm already totally, hopelessly addicted. I bought my first mini-phal three days ago, repotted it tonight (as per advice received on these forums) and might be going out to pick up a new (larger) orchid tonight. I'm hoping to get a nice shelf set-up in my room with a decent variety in the next few days. c: ANYWAY. I'm rambling. I came to ask about my baby's name!
I've done some reading on names of orchids, and I understand what a "noID" orchid is. The mini phal I bought was tagged with the name "Dtps. Long Pride Green Pixie" and I know that the "Doritaenopsis" is now more or less just understood to be the same thing as a "Phalaenopsis". I was wondering ... is there any way I can look up my orchid's ancestry based on the name on its tag? To find its parents? Or where it originated? Or to validate that this is in fact its real name? I'm curious!
