Orchid Nicknames- Here are mine. How do you nickname yours?

[astrid]

Hey everyone!!

I thought I would do a little show and tell of my new orchids I've picked up and share their nicknames with you. Who wants to call an orchid "Burrageara Nelly Isler" when you can just call it "Leela"?

Anyway, here are many of my orchids and what I've named them!! (I can't really take credit for these blooms because these are new for the most part)

First we have Oncidium Heaven Scent "Redolence"
Nickname: "Esther" Why? My mom's name is Esther and she got this for me one day when I was feeling sad.


Next we have a NOID phalanenopsis from Trader Joe's.
Nickname: "Tweety Bird" Why? Well isn't it just obvious? The canary yellow! The petals shaped uncannily like Tweety Bird's head! I don't know if I want to change that ... do you guys have any better suggestions?


Here is my dendrobium kingianum.
Nickname: "Jadzia Dax" Why? I am a big ol Star Trek nerd, and I thought the purple blooms and hardiness of the plant matched up with Jadzia so well! I mean, she married a Klingon for goodness sake!


Here is my paphiopedilum supersuk 'eureka' x raisin pie 'hsinying' x sib.
Nickname: "Luisa" This was named after my longtime and cherished friend Luisa. She is badass, and this flower is so cool that when she asked me to nickname an orchid after her, I had to pick this guy!


This is my NOID Den. nobile. It smells like mothballs to me, unfortunately. Luckily that smell isn't too strong.
Nickname: "Nicki Minaj" Because Nicki is a high-color, thick, amazing lady, and these flowers match her lipstick and her flamboyant wigs. Also because how can you say no to Nicki?


NOID pink miltoniopsis. This is by far my favorite orchid I've had!! It smells amazing like roses, and it's just gorgeous. I wish it had an ID because I would buy 10.
Nickname: "Crybaby" Do you not see the face of a shrieking little kid in this orchid's patterns? It looks so angry! I love its attitude!


Not pictured:
A mini NOID phal rescue that I have never seen in bloom. I nicknamed it Frodo, because it is the tiniest orchid in my collection.

A rescue psychopsis I got. I have always wanted a psychopsis because they are sequentially blooming for a very long time, and they remind me of an infamous video game character from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Yep, I got this guy and nicknamed it "Kaepora Gaebora" because if you know that owl, you'll now how much he looks like a psychopsis!

My second rescue psychopsis has been nicknamed "Gwaihir" - keeping in the themes of nerdiness and famous birds. Gwaihir is the king of the eagles in Tolkien's world.

I also have a NOID brassia that is out of bloom, and I nicknamed it "Staryu." For any of you pokémon fans, you'll know that name instantly!

Well, now that I've shared, how about you share!! Show me pictures of your nicknamed orchids! Or... am I the only one on OB who makes up funny names to call her plants?

Thanks guys, and have a good one!
