Ascocenda label - had to laugh; photo to follow

[nancy]

Greetings -
A $5 baggie that I bought at Lowe's or HD in October has buds just starting to open (yellow with orange spots - sweet!). It is tagged by Better-Gro, and the tag says, very exactly:
(Ascda. Chomnao. x Ascda. Guacha Long "Surat"
Luckily, RHS has pretty good ~fuzzy~ search capabilities.
The actual cross, unless I miss my blithering guess, is:
Ascda. Chomnard x Ascda. Guo Chia Long 'Surat'
For several years, I'd bloomed another of these baggies (a real blue beauty) that was labeled V. something-I-don't-remember x V. colorea
Finally dawned on me that the other parent was 'coerulea'.
I have really stopped being surprised when some plant I have turns out to be "unregistered' - my suspicion is always that it is just "misspelled."
Cheers - Nancy

lol, that's funny!!! They don't sell bag babies here in Illinois...at least, not that I'm aware of. I'd love to get one!!

I'm surprised that a $5.00 baggie would be putting out buds already. That was a great purchase. Keep us posted.
