Really nice this year. Very strong.

Very nice. Made me do a mental "Oh wow!" when I saw it. Any idea what the parentage is?

Strangely, this is a case of someone switched the tags. 'NN' is white with pink and purple edging. This is actually "Golden Beauty."
The parents are Dialaelia Snowflake X Blc. Orange Nugget. I think I will change the title bar if I can. (I was able to). There is someone else on the board who has this plant and is also calling it 'NN.'

If that is indeed the case the misidentification is widespread. Waldor Orchids was selling 'NN' clones at both the Philadelphia Flower and SEPOS shows, and although the intensity of the yellow is a bit better on mine, they were otherwise identical.

I actually do think it is widespread. I suppose going to the breeder would be the next step.

The other possibility is that Orchidweb is wrong........

Gosh, could be. I never thought about that. It is also possible that while in flask or whatever, some ID tags were accidentally switched. Seems to me, this should have a "golden" in the name, and it looks exactly like the golden Beauty, with the bronzy border, and bronze
as a bud. I mean, that is sort of distinctive.

Ever heard of Occam's Razor? I hold the leather strop while Occam sharpens it.
