Does anyone know what the parentage is of Ascofinetia 'Lionstar'?

Marilyn the parents are Neofinetia Falcata (species) and Ascocentrum Sagarik Gold (primary hybrid of Asctm miniatum X Asctm curvifolium)

Thanks Paul. I know I read it somewhere but couldn't find it back. I like to have that info on my record sheet.

you are very welcome. it was as easy as typing the name into AQ Plus

Thanks again for the info.

Ross just invited me to go to the Chicage Festival,

There goes the money I had hoped to put toward OrchidWiz.

That wasn't difficult. I voted for Chicago. OrchidWiz can wait a little longer.

Well if your interested in just getting by until you save up for Orchid Wiz there is the AOS version, AQ Plus. Its not user friendly and generally a hatefull little program but the info is there and a subscription is $50, though if I were you I would spend my $50 on a really nice species orchid in Chicago!

Im buying Orchid Wiz with about 15 other people from the Toronto Judging center and we're getting a nice group discount but until then im stuck with AQ Plus

I was so glad to see the parentage on Ascofinetia Lionstar. I have a beauty blooming on the back porch, a regular reliable bloomer.

Strangely, Lionstar doesn't seem to be registered there.

Ah, that's because they have it registered as Lion Star
The International Orchid Register / RHS Gardening
and it seems to have been lumped into Vanda in the taxonomy wars...!

(they've lumped both Neofinetia and Ascocentrum into Vanda).
