Well, I got anal enough to look up both of them; Spring Bride is Ise x Mild Umi, and Spring Jewel is Mild Umi x Hatsushimo - so these have a parent in common. I think one was registered by H&R, the other by Yamamoto.
Continuing through the 'Spring' names registered by these two hybridizers only, each with one of the three above-listed parents, we have Spring...Doll, Frolic, Hill, Shower and Whisper. Don't know what any of these look like, of course, but I'm suspecting that if you googleimage them, you'll find some more white ones.
And those are only the *registered* hybrids, there are surely dozens more unregistered.
Very tough to label a plant with certainty when the tag has vanished. And, of course, you can't even be really sure when you have the tag! I have a labeled Dend. Pinwattana that is absolutely either a hybrid of, or plain-old, Vanda tessellata - at least you are sure yours is a Dendrobium. That's something.
Cheers - Nancy
