Hi all -

My wife and I have just begun with orchids. We have four - three Cymbidiums and an Oncidium. We just repotted and they look quite happy. Wish us luck!

Richard

My hello
Default My pics
Here are the pics of the two blooming orchids. The Cymbidium tag says:

Cym.
Cym. Lady Spring 'Nancy'
x Mighty Mouse 'Minnie' 4N

We don't know what that means - a cross?

The Phalaenopsis doesn't have a tag. It is small - maybe twelve inches high.

The other Cym. and the Onsidium are not blooming right now. I was wrong when I said there were three Cymbidiums it's two Cyms, a Phalaenopsis and an Oncidium.

Your Cym name tag -

- Cym. Lady Spring 'Nancy': Lady Spring is a hybrid name, Lady Spring is (Cym Doris Aurea x Cym Sensation). 'Nancy' is a cultivar name, someone had a Lady Spring plant judged and received a flower quality award and then gave that plant a cultivar name, always shown in single quotes.

-Cym. Mighty Mouse 'Minnie' 4N is also a hybrid name, Mighty Mouse is (Cym Pajaro x Cym Redwood). 'Minnie' is a cultivar name. 4N is referring to the plants number of complete sets of chromosomes. Important to know for breeding purposes.

The cross was registered in 6/15/2009 by the hybrid originator L.Batchman. So the current name of your is Cymbidium Spring Mouse (Cym Mighty Mouse x Cym Lady Spring).
