Miltonia (Puna Cove 'Karen' x [Brazillian Rose x Candiada] Merry's Original'

I typed the tag exactly as I see it, but it is very faded and cut off so forgive me if I am mistaken on anything that might be obvious to others. This is one of two scraggly almost rootless divisions that I was kindly gifted from someone who picked them bare root out of a box and purchased at an orchid class. I am very very much a beginner with the Oncidium alliance so I potted it up and have been trying to care for it as I learn. My care can probably not take credit for the blooms, as the spikes started only about 2-3 weeks after I received it. Not a very brilliantly colored bloom, but I am enjoying them - something different in my collection :)

Thank you.

What a good start! I love oncidiums...they are easier for me than phals! Some of them can get pretty big.

Keep us in the loop...

:hello Take all the credit you can! If your conditions weren't good,the spikes would have suffered in some way. Enjoy them and keep posting pix!:frogfly:

Lovely!

That's a very complex hybrid. Not brightly colored, but pleasing.

I think you probably got very close to interpreting that monster tag, but there is no hybrid called Candiada. The most likely correction for that is candida (a species). Just one L in Brazilian. Add the missing single quote. Then just a question of where to put the missing parenthesis...

Miltonia (Puna Cove 'Karen' x [Brazilian Rose x candida] 'Merry's Original')

or

Miltonia (Puna Cove 'Karen' x [Brazilian Rose x candida]) 'Merry's Original'

The first would be a seed grown plant, the second probably a mericlone of an unregistered hybrid.

Thanks everybody! And thank you PaphMadMan for the clarification and information, I appreciate it. I did feel dumb typing "Brazillian" but that is how the tag spelled it so I typed it lol. I think your second example is probably the right one, or at least what the tag is trying to say.

And who knows, subsequent flowerings could produce brighter colors!

Good growing!
