Need assistance in deciphering tags.
Three new babies came home with me from Trader Joe's. And I read a thread or an article on names, but still have questions. Let's see how close I can get to correctly interpeting the tags.
I have inserted a ? where a character was illegible These are the tags verbatim:
Paph. (Makuli-??rtisii)-Maudiae x
Paph. Maud??? 'Napa Valley' HCC/AOS x Sib
?0310-AP
Gdlra. Tahitian Dancer (Lanbaba)
(A)
M1010-H
Milt. Andrea West 'Wild Wild West'
(D)
Here is how I understand it:
Paph.
This is a Paphiopedilum (don't know if I got spelling right). I am guessing x Sib means that the parents in this cross had the same exact mother and father. I am guessing (Makuli-??rtisii) are the names of the individuals who first published this name though it is exceedingly weird for a person's name to end "-ii"
Is this likely to have been raised from a seed, rather than cloned?
Gdlra. looks like none of the genuses I see listed on the web forum. I am guessing (Lanbaba) means the same thing as 'Lanbaba', making this a clone of the individual plant "Lanbaba'
Milt. Andrea West 'Wild Wild West' is a Miltonia (I think that is a 'natural' genus.) ummm...Andrea West describes a particular hybrid cross. 'Wild Wild West' is a registered plant, making this also a clone.
How did I do?
