Thank you all very much. Here is the tag I made for the Yellow/red one. The white is just a noid although I know it is one of the batch of very old crosses from the late 40's early 50's. Most are white with a lot of Bow Bells or Bob Betts. I have a C. Carol Channing throwing a sheath right now. And a C. Karen Gubler too. Most of the old orchids came from a very sweet old lady who has gone on the orchid heaven. I am growing these old crosses to divide when they get large enough so I can share them with club members. So thank you all for the kind comments. Here are a few more blooms and some close ups of those posted the other day.

Thanks. They are thin aluminum surrounding paper so you inpress the info onto it and it stays for years. They are used for identifying industrial machinery like pumps, valves, piping, ect.
