And if you are identifying from photos on the internet it can be very misleading: some can be near identical except for size or growth habit that you can't see in a photo of the flower, even if that photo gets the colour acurately, which they often don't.

How I handle my noids with a possible ID is I give them 'noidus' as a grex name and the id as a clone name. Eg I have a Phal noidus 'Manhattan Rose'. And you'd have an Onc. noidus 'Tsiku Marguerite'. I think having a Paph noidus 'Lady Maudiea' would be fabulous! (Alba, coloratum and vini are descriptions of colour, and can apply to Maudieas and any other paphs)

I love the ID of Noidus in front...
Everyone will think it sounds so official.
I'll have to think of a new name for everything!!

And I know I said I would update with my new purchases but life got ahead of me.

So its a few days late.. Since all the new orchids are phals I think I'm going to make a thread for them in the Phal section.
Thank you all!
This is more info than I ever hoped for.
