Website recommendations to identify NoIDs??

We need your help!! We've been searching all the websites trying to ID our orchids without luck. If you know of a great website or can help us ID our phals we would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!!

Other than contacting the vendor if there is a tag with the plant, it is pretty much impossible to ID Phals. There are thousands if not millions of hybrids and many are un-named and sold for the mass markets. Many look similar but have different parentage. Just enjoy them for their beauty or attach your own pet name to them if you feel the need to have names. They take the same care as other classic Phals.

They were rescued/rehabbed so we didn't have name tags unfortunately, and we crossed them so that's why we were hoping to find a good naming resource but it seems impossible 😔

I guess they will be NoIDs just like their parents!

Great work! But without genetic testing, you couldn't set names or parentage to NOID's. And even with so many hybrids out there, genetic testing would likely be impossible. That will be fun to see what you get from your crosses.

It would not be fun for judges and breeders, or collectors if people just guessed at names and then started getting their NOID's judged and awarded and bred, based on a guess of its true name. That is why it is discouraged.
