non-noids from trader joes, but need help reading tags.
 
I need a translation of the plant tags.
One is Onc.V-812 Wildcat "Silver"
the other is Pot. Triple Love "NN"

I wish I could show you pictures, but I can't charge my camera's battery.

Isn't the first one just Oncidium Wildcat Silver?
The other, I think, is Potinara Triple Love?

Potinara would put the orchid in the Cattleya family.

Unfortunately, I can find no Onc. Wildcat in OrchidWiz or RHS. There is a Oncostele (syn. Colmanara) Wildcat. There is no awarded cultivar for 'Silver'

Potinara Triple Love is a registered hybrid. The NN is either a cultivar name or an indication that it is a genetically a diploid.

Note that cultivar names are enclosed in single quotes; e.g. 'Silver'. Is this the case on your tags? Growers can still provide cultivar names regardless of their award status.

Yes, I was mistaken, the tag had single quotes, so 'silver' is correct.
