DTPS. Gan Lin Fairy / White&Maroon Harlequin / Yellow Lip

[Seewah86]

Hello all! Looking for some help with my new 'chid. I bought it at Lowes this morning (I know I know..not the best place to buy Orchids) and it came with a tag. Normally, when I buy a 'chid from a store like that it doesn't have anything with it besides maybe something that says it's a Phal or whatever else. I was pretty excited about this but I realized that I have no idea how to read the tag really. I did a little research but it left me more confused than anything and now I'm wondering if the tag that came with the orchid is even correct. Long story short: help a noob out!

If you can't see the writing on the tag in the pic it reads: 071201-DF1072 7/15/12-11/5/12 White/Maroon Harlequin / Yellow Lip DTPS. GAN LIN FAIRY

Lovely!

Dtps (Doritaenopsis) : Doritis x Phalaenopsis

The genus Doritis has been merged into Phalaenopsis.

So, you have a Phalaenopsis named Gan Lin Fairy - the rest is description and the numbers probably are from and used by the grower.

Thanks White! I figured I was making it more complicated than it was

You're welcome!

I think we all are guilty of over complicating things now and again
