New to me Orchids

[smartie2000]

Is your first one Paph. Raisen Pie x Paph. Supersuk 'Eureka' AM/AOS then? if it is then it is registered as Hsinying Alien.
The typed names up above are a bit of a confusion for me to read

Just looked at mine again and it is spelled "Raisin Pie". Oops!!

I found this...

Paphiopedilum 'Raisin Pie' x 'Masupi'



Now remember I'm new to this stuff. Does the x 'Masupi' mean it is a different "cross" than my 'Eureka'? If so then it will look different?

Mopars are so much easier to understand.

You think you're confused.

I typed it just as it read on the marker thingy.

I think whoever wrote the label isn't organized and easily these names can be lost or misinterpreted by a mix up.... I don't know why '(' and '-' are used in place of 'x' and why brackets were not used.
...thanks for calling me confused.

I'm making assumptions. The labeller should have wrote:

Paph. (Raisin Pie 'Hsinying' x sib) x Paph. Supersuk 'Eureka' AM/AOS
rather than Paph. Raisen Pie 'Hsinying' x Sib (Paph. Supersuk 'Eureka' AM/AOS


Paph. Double Deception (venustum 'Blatant' x sukhakulii 'Emerald')
rather than Paph. Double Deception venustum 'Blatant' x sukhakulii 'Emerald'

Paph. ((Makuli x curtisii) x Maudiae) x (Paph. Maudiae 'Napa Valley' HCC/AOS x sib)
or Paph ((Makuli x curtisii) x Maudiae) x Paph. Maudiae 'Napa Valley' HCC/AOS) x sib
rather than Paph. (Makuli - Curtisii) - Maudiae x Paph. Maudiae 'Napa Valley' HCC/AOS x Sib


Hsinying Majakun is Paph ((Makuli x superbiens) x Maudiae) x Maudiae
Paph curtisii is now a synonym of Paph superbiens

Thanks again for calling me confused... And you will not get a bloom that is exactly the same as the pictures you are finding.

"Thanks again for calling me confused"

Please don't misunderstand!! I wasn't trying to imply you are confused about your facts or knowledge I meant to say the lable is confusing to someone even as schooled as you are in this.

I on the other hand remain easily confused when it comes to Orchid facts since I am so new to the hobby.

Make sense?

Thanks for the help.

I think I confused myself
Paph Double Deception is the one I envy
Paph venustum primary hybrids - OrchidTalk Orchid Forums - Grow Orchids!
Julie has a very nice one

Years of patience and training!! LOL

I should also give an apology Mr. Failingflopsis. I was much too harsh.

BTW since your plants have awarded parents and selected clones, if you're lucky you may find something truely superb.
The first one should have warts and spots on the petals.
The second one could be a greenish one because paph sukhakulii 'Emerald' sounds like an alba (based on the name Emerald) or maybe it's just a really green sukhakulii. I think this one is going to be a winner either way.
and the last one should be an alba

OK. Heres No1 . Just bought it last week at Home Depot. Tag reads. Paph. Supersuk "Eureka" AM/AOS X Paph. Raisin Pie "Hsinying") X Sib. Hope this helps. Jim.
