More new green/yellow complex hybrids...
 
I went out to the flower district in a while.
I found one store with quite a few complex hybrids.
I wanted to get as many as five, but I already have four complex types, so I limited as much as I could and ended up with two. :biggrin:
Of course I bought more of others too as seen in the first picture. lol

Both of these have two spikes and six to seven growths, yet cheaper than the "single cut" plants I got in the past months.

One of them has a tall spike for this type, which I'm especially happy about.

Anyone enlighten me on how to interpret the tag?
Mainly on the PA3264 part and what the date 08.04.21 means?
I heard the Ching Hua is a famous orchid grower.

By the way, only the one with the more white area on the dorsal has this tag. The other one is missing a tag.

They are sitting by the lamp where the big pointsetta used to sit, which I dumped out last week as it was drying out, and it is way over Christmas. :rofl:

That label means it's a Paph. Stone Lovely; the parents were two sibling clones of Stone Lovely,
Stone Lovely 'C.H. #3'
Stone Lovely 'Ching Hua' (awarded by the TPS, presumably the Taiwan Paph Soc, no idea what their award classes are).

The date is the 21 April 2008, presumably the date the cross was made, seed sown or the plant deflasked/potted.

Oh, and here we can grow poinsettias as garden plants - they grow into enormous bushes.

I bet they do.
I had this tiny red leafed one last winter and this past winter, I got a pretty big sized (at least for home use) white leafed one for a change.
