Registration help! Anyone heard of quality orchid labs?
I'm new at this, this is my first posting, so bear with me if I goof this up. Any pointers on other topic areas I should post this would be appreciated. Here is my problem: In 2004 I bought a replate flask with 5 orchids in it from a place called Quality Orchid Labs on eBay. I managed to get one plant to survive to blooming, and it's a very nice flower. As far as I can determine, the cross was never named, it is Dtps. Taisuco Firebird x P. Rousserole. I have searched the RHS database and there is no record of the cross registerd. I would like to register the cross as I would like to use it in my own hybridizing attempts. Quality Orchid Labs no longer exists on eBay and I can not find them in any search on the internet. It is my understanding that a person who blooms out an unregisterd cross can name it provided they have permission from the originator or have made attempts to contact the originator and were unsuccessful. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? Thanks!
