It did come with an ID tag. However I didn’t pay attention to it because a) the whole thing was in Thai and b) it looked quite ancient, ie dusty and pencil fading. So I couldn’t wait to strip it off! Now I know better, if nothing else I could have tried to spell what was written on the tag and that might have offered some clue.
Same example, one of my “young turk” rhys also came with a name tag but at the time I couldn’t care less about family lineage, genu and what not so I quickly ripped it off - now all I could do is wait and see for the first bloom and god knows when that will be? It came home with a tiny head of a spike poking out from inside a bottom leaf but that little guy never got any bigger, the whole time it only played hide and seek; then a couple of weeks ago I left them all out in the afternoon sun and that little spike head got fried to a brown one so there goes my fervent hope. If my memory does not play trick on me (though it does quite often lately) then the seller had told me at the time of purchase that this was a “red elephant” – but it could have been just hallucination caused by wishful thinking...
For the moment I and my NoID vanda have happily settled on “Cinderella” as its current nickname until I find a blueblood Tubtim Siam to compare it wth.
